A
Small Town
(1)
There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed
to live in harmony with its surroundings. (2) The
town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with
fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white
clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. (3) In autumn, oak
and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and
flickered across a backdrop of pines. (4) Then foxes barked in the
hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists
of the fall mornings.
