Book for Every Girls

Her name was Elsie and she was asleep in a cozy nook in the woods, which was the beginning of it all.Many strange things may happen to a little girl who falls asleep in the woods, but there never happened to any other little girl, either asleep or awake, in the woods or at home, a more important thing than that which had its start for Elsie while she lay there under the green boughs beside a bubbling spring of crystal-clear water, the scent of pines and flowers sweetening the still air. A robin redbreast whistled melodiously for rain, rain, rain, and the cows in the pasture, who do not like rain as well as they do sunshine, lifted up their voices in protest, calling oo-oo-ohh! moo-oo-hh! noo-oo-hh! as if they were trying to say no, no, no! and could not speak the English language well. It was a peaceful woodland scene, a scene into which, if you were awake, you would expect that a railroad train would be about the last thing that could possibly enter.
