THE NICEST STORY by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN

First Line: I'M GOING TO WRITE A STORY
Last Line: THE KIND THAT CHIL'REN NEED.
Subject(s): WRITING & WRITERS;

I'M going to write a story,
The bestest ever told --
The kind that little chil'ren like,
Jus' my years old.

There's crockendiles 'n' fairies,
'N' chil'ren in a shoe,
'N' animals who talk aloud,
'N' a Princess, too!

There's dragons on the first page,
'N' giants all the way;
'N' it's going on forever,
Forever and a day.

The nicest tales do finish,
'N' that is always sad.
But this will have no ending, --
Oh, aren't you very glad?

I'll write, and write, and write it,
'N' then you'll read and read.
Oh, THAT'S the nicest story,
The kind that chil'ren need.
