Now the Special English program American Stories.

 

Our story today is called ''The Revolt of Mother''. It was written by Mary Wilkins Freeman. It was published as part of a collection of stories in 1891. Here is Kay Glant with the story.

 

"Father, what are the men digging over in the field for?"

 

The old man shut his mouth and continued getting his horse ready to ride. They were in the barn, standing before the wide open doors. The spring air was full of the smell of growing grass. Adoniram Penn looked at his wife Sarah. She looked as unmovable as one of the rocks in his fields.

 

"Father", she said, "I wanna know what the men are digging over there in that field for?"

 

"They are digging a foundation, if you have got to know."

 

''For what?''

 

''For a barn.''

 

''Ah, a barn? You ain’t going to build a barn over there where we was going to have a house.''

 

The old man hurried away. The woman went to the house. It looked extremely small next to the great barn and other farm buildings. A pretty girl's face looked out one of the windows. She turned quickly when the woman entered.  "What are they digging for, Mother? Did he tell you?''

 

''They are digging for a new barn.''

 

''Oh, Mother, he ain’t going to build another barn.''

 

"That’s what he says."

 

A boy stood by smoothing his hair.

 

“Sammy, did you know Father was going to build a new barn?” The girl asked.

 

“Yes, I suppose I did.” he said.

 

His mother looked at him hard. "Is he going to buy more cows?"

 

"I, I suppose he is." Sammy answered.

 

The mother said nothing more. The boy got his cap and his book and started for school.

 

 "Mother," the girl said, "don't you think it's too bad that Father is going to build a new barn when we need a better house to live in?"

 

"You should not judge Father, Nanny. He does not look at things just the way we do. I do not think you should complain. You have a good father and a good home.''

 

Nanny began to sob. She was to be married in the autumn.

Now the SE program on American Stories.

 

Our story today is called "The Revolt of Mother". It was written by Mary Wilcolns Freeman, it was published as part of a collection of stories in 1891, "Erase kigland with the stories"

 

"Father, what's the men digging over the field for?" The old man shut his month and continued getting his horse ready to ride. There were in the barn standing before the wide open doors, the spring air was full of the smell of growing grass. "I'd ... of a pen." looked at his wife Sarah, she looked unmovable as one of the rocks in his fields.

 

"Father," she said, "I want to know what the men're digging overthere in the field for?"
"They are digging a foundation if you have got to know."
"For what?"
"For a barn."
"Ha, a barn! You would have a beautiful barn overthere, but when we are going to have a house?"
The old man hurried away.

The woman went to the house. It looked extremely small, next to the great barn, and other farmer buildings. A pretty girl's face looked out of the window. She turned quickly when the woman entered.
"What'.. digging for? Did they tell you?"
"They are digging for a new barn." 
"Oh, mother, he's going build another barn!"
 "That's what he says."
 A boy stood by smoothing his hair. "Sammy, did you know father was going to build a new barn?" The girl asked, "Yes, I suppose I did." he said.

His mother looked at him hard, "Is he going to buy more cows?"
"Hey, I suppose he is." Sammy answered.

The mother said nothing more. The boy got his cap and his book, and started for school.

"Mother, don't you think it's too bad that father is going to build a new barn, when we need a better house to live in?"

"You should not judge father, Nanny. He does not look at things just the way we do. I do not think you should complain. You have a good father and a good home."

Nanny began to sew, she was to be married in the Autumn. Her mother got out of the things she needed to big piles for her husband, whenever she looked up, she could see the sight that pain to her sew.

A new barn will stand in the place, where 40 years ago, E... had promised there new house will stand.

 

The family gathered for the new meal. They ate quickly, quietly, than Sammy went back to school, and Nanny went to the store. Sarah followed Edeni..m.

"Father, I want to see you. Just a minute."
"I have work to do, fother"
"Father, you come here" Sarah Penn stood in the door, like a queen. She held her hand as if it wore a crown. Smile room went. ..

"Sit down, father" Sarah said, "I have something I want to say to you."
He sat down heavily, "well, what is it, Mother?"
"I want to know what you're building a new barn for? It can not be that you think you need another barn. "
"I, ... I, I got nothing to say about it.
Sarah stood before her husband,

"Now, father, look here. I am going to talk a real plan to you. You see this room here, you look at it well. You see there is no carpet on the floor, and the paper is dropping off the walls. It is all I have had to walking, eating and sitting since we were married. It is all the room Nanny will have to be married in".

She moved across the room as if it were a tragic stage.
She threw open the door to their tiny storage room, she threw open the door to the unfinished room above where the childred slept.

"Now, father, I want to know if you think you are doing right. 40 years ago, you promised we would have a new house before the year was over. You said you will not ask me to live in a place such as this. It is 40 years now. You've been making more money, and you went... build no house yet. You have built new barns, and you are going to build another. Keeping your farm animals better than your own flesh and blood. I want to know if you think it is right. "

"I got nothing to say."

"You cannot say nothing without you meeting.. it right, father. There is nothing to say. I have got along for 40 years. And I suppose I can get along for 40 more, but we do not have another house. Nanny will not be able to live with us after she marries. I cannot have it so." Sarah Penn's face was burning. She had defended her little cause like a great speaker, but her opponent remained stubbornly silent.

"Father, ain't you got nothing to say? "

"I've got to go often, get a load of crash stone. I can not stand talking all day."
"Father, won't you think it over, and build a house there instead of a barn?"
"I got nothing to say."

E. left, Sarah went into their bedroom. When she came out, her eyes were red. She spread some cotton cloth on the kitchen table, she began to make new shirts for her husband.

Nanny came back from the store, and sat down with her needle work.

"Mother, " she said after a while, "We might have a wedding the new barn."

Sarah jumped a little, her face wore a strange expression.

 

All through the spring months, it seems as if that Sarah heard nothing but the sound of the building, but the barn grew fast , it was ready by summer. Ed. planned to move in the cows. Then he recieved a letter from Sarah's brother, who had found him a good horse.

"Er, I hate to go out just now." E. said, "but I think the workers can get along without me for a three or four days. I guess I'd better go if cows come today, Sammy can drive them into the new barn. "

"Well," She went about her works, thinking, talking a little to herself, and her voice rang out loudly, it looks like a gift from God.

"What are you talking about, mother?" Nanny asked,
"Nothing."

 

Later that morning, the man rode the hay wagon and took it to the new barn. Sarah ran out to them,

"Stop!" she screamed, "don't put the hay in the new barn, put it in the old one. " She went back into the house, she began moving dishes out of the tiny storage room. She began putting them into a close basket.

"What are you going to do, mother?" Nanny asked in a small voice.

"You will see what I am going to do." her mother answered.

"Nanny, I want you to go upstairs and gather your things, and I want you, Sammy to help me take down the bed."

 

During the next few hours, this simple woman performed active bravery equal to that of any great military leader. Sarah Penn, as a head of her little army,  moved all their possessions into the new barn while her husband was away.

 

The building was designed for the comfortable f.. footed animal. Yet, right away, Sarah saw its possibility for humans, with addition of a few walls and windows, she would have a bigger, more comforable house than she had occupied for 40 years.

 

By the next morning, the news spread all over the village. There was a difference of opinions about what it happened. Some thought with the active an insane woman, some thought with the active, law.. ra. spirit.

 

On the night, E. was expected home. Sarah cooked the food he likes best, she put on the clean dress, the children kept close to her.

"There is," Sammy said,

E. led his new horse to the new barn. He opened back the great door, there stood his wife and his children.

"What on earth are you all doing down here? "

Sammy's voice was high and thin, "We have come here to live, father"

The old man's face was pale, frightening

Sarah led the way into the barn,"now, father, there is nothing to be upset over. Crazy, but we have come here to live. We got just it is good right to be here as horse and cows. "

E. ate, then went outside and sat down. He put his head in his hands. Sarah went to him, and touched his shoulder. He was crying,

"I've put up the walls, and everything you want. "

Sarah put her hands to her face overcome.. by her own victory.

E. was like a great fortress that falls the moment the right weapon are used.

"Why, mother," he said, "I have no idea you want this so much, to have done of this"
