I Got the First Bath by Max

One morning I went into the garden to pick some carrots. I got all dirty when I was out in the garden. When I came in my Mom told me I had to get into the bathtub. It was not even Saturday night but I guess I was so dirty that I had to have a bath. I was lucky because I got the first bath. I sure left the water dirty. It was also warm because the water was just heated over the stove. My brother and sister would have a cold bath.

When I got out of the bathtub I quickly went to my room and jumped under my quilt to keep warm. The floor was cold on my feet. I dreamed about having toys to play with. I saw them on the shelves of the General Store. They were little wooden toy people. I dreamed about playing with them under my warm quilt.
