Читать книгу Maddy Patti and the Great Curiosity - Stan W. Borg - Страница 12

During her summer visits, Maddy Patti and Gideon, who was

one year older, often shared chores to get them done quickly

so they could explore the bank of the bubbling creek that ran

between the farms looking for curiosities.

A curiosity is something different from the ordinary that you

have to look hard to find. Curiosities can be tiny strawberries, a

flint arrowhead or a shiny creek stone.

This morning, Maddy Patti discovered one that troubled

her. It was not an object; it was a feeling about Gideon. She

wondered about Abby’s warning. Stony the Pony gave Maddy

Patti the answer with a toss of his head and a long whinny.
