A tramp earns his breakfast
On a bright June morning, Peace, Cherry and Allee slip out of the little brown house to gather flowers. Their tumbling in the road wakes a gray-haired tramp asleep behind a hedge. He cannot help smiling at the muddy girls.
Later Peace questions him like a grown woman and tells him tramps must work for food. Gail trims her long list of jobs to a little wood chopping. He notices the girls' birch bark boats and says city people would pay well for such things.
The family is poor, and their mother is still alive but an invalid. That evening a ten dollar bill appears on the gatepost, and the mystery of the money begins.
That’s 1 of 9 key points.
