About the Book

Excerpt: ..."We want to see the circus," added Chris. "You're too little to carry water," said Sam. "Where're all the bigger kids?" "They've gone home to breakfast," replied Chris. "Please, mister, we can carry water. I'm big enough."

"No, sir," they both assured him and Chris continued: "Mother did once, just after she was married to father. She wished she could bring us all to the circus but she didn't have money enough." "H'm," said the man. "I used to be a orfum myself and I know how you feel." "Did you?" asked Jerry, and he smiled up at the man, unafraid, with a sort of fellow feeling. "I sure did," the man smiled down at Jerry. "I got to see my first circus through carrying water for the elephants."
