This photo was taken in 1949. My cousins and I remember the porch after our grandfather walled it in, added a door and big screen windows.

Micro story 3: An untitled book

The two children spent many hours that year, amusing themselves by listening to the stories they recorded in their book.  Until, as you might expect, they outgrew the need to hear them.

They kept the book though.

The terrier and his faithful companion returned to their home world by another way, and were never again seen by the children.  Before they left, they recorded their own story in the book, though the children were unaware of this at the time.  Their account of the incident with the chickens is unique, to say the least.
