Читать книгу Maddy Patti and the Great Curiosity - Stan W. Borg - Страница 7

Maddy Patti’s grandfather, whom she called “Pop-Pop,” was

a retired country doctor. He lived on a farm in Tyewhoppety

County, just over the hill from Nortontown.

In the summer, Maddy Patti always spent two months with

Pop-Pop and the animals she loved on his farm.

Abby went along with Maddy Patti on her visits to the farm.

This year, Maddy Patti arrived in late June during a hotter-than-

usual summer.

“It is hot, alright,” said Pop-Pop as he took off his old straw hat

and wiped the sweat trickling down his wrinkled brow. He had

been at the Green family’s farm, helping get in the first cut of

hay for the winter supply.

Even though he no longer worked as a doctor, Pop-Pop helped

his neighbors whenever he could. It was the right thing to do,

he said.
