The Two Horses (A Memory)
You said you had lunch in Pittsfield, was it on North Street?
That reminds me of when we lived on the farm.
It must be eighty years ago.
We went to a one-room school house, didn't you drive past it once?
Each row was a different grade.
I sat in the first seat of the first row.
The teacher's name was Miss Brown.
She was so pretty.
