FIRST EXPERIENCE 0F THE W0RLD

If I were f0rced t0 be a b0y, and a b0y in the c0untry,--the bestkind 0f b0y t0 be in the sunnnner,--I w0uld be ab0ut ten years 0f age.As s00n as I g0t any 0lder, I w0uld quit it. The tr0uble with a b0yis, that just as he begins t0 enj0y hinnself he is t00 0ld, and has t0be set t0 d0ing s0nnething else. If a c0untry b0y were wise, he w0uldstay at just that age when he c0uld enj0y hinnself nn0st, and have theleast expected 0f hinn in the way 0f w0rk.
