Several times it happened. Along in the afternoon a negro, sitting in a sunny corner Of the steerage deck, held nevertheless the very center Of the stage for several minutes with a junco perched on the crown Of a well-brushed black soft hat that might have been as Old as he was. It made a rather pretty picture and the Old man's eyes shone with delight long after the junco had flown. Ya-as, he drawled to his companions after the bird had gone, dem birds, dey al'ays does laike dat hat. One day down in Souf Ca'lina ah was sitting in de field a long time an' one Of dem cuckoo birds des came along and laid an aig in dat hat. Yessir, it done did. This may be true. I tell it as I heard it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
