The two little girls both were in the first grade and walked every day to Elementary School located on West Montgomery.
The girls stayed with their grandmother, who never owned a vehicle in her entire life, during the school year.
The two little girls were constantly getting into trouble both were like the monkey in the stories of Curious George and the man with the yellow hat.
One day on their way from home from school, they stopped at the local church where they walked down into the basement to take a peek inside.
There they found a refrigerator full of food, they were very hungry so they poured themselves a glass of buttermilk and filled it with a slice of bread.
The little girls thought to themselves that the Lord would have said, “I have bread to spare.”
For Christmas, their grandmother had given all her granddaughters caps with a tassel attached at the end.
The older little girl lost her red and white cap, with a tassel attached on the back, one day on the way to school.
The little girl searched high and low for the cap but could not find it anywhere.
The little girl was determined to find that special cap her grandmother gave her, for she felt it would make her grandmother very sad.
The little girl continued searching for that special cap and one day while she walking home from school, the little girl spied a cap just like the one she had lost, it was hanging on the front porch of a white framed wooden house not far from the school.
The little girl began to step upon the porch, of the white framed house, when a grouchy old woman came outside and said, “what do want?’
My cap replied the little girl, but the grouchy old woman said, that is not your cap, it belongs to my granddaughter.
The grouchy old woman snatched up the cap and took the cap inside, never to be seen again by the little girl.
Sadly the two little girls walked home and told the grandmother that she had lost her cap but to her surprise, the grandmother was not angry.
She replied, sometimes things have a way of working out, and she surprised the little girl with a new red and white cap that the little girl treasured.
