Excerpt from Little Folks in Busy-Land Little Clara filled the eight little trunks with her little dresses, little coats, little hats, little gloves, and little shoes. She did not forget her little brush and comb and her little tooth-brush, for she was a neat little girl. Then with black paint her father marked on each trunk: Clara Clay, busy-land. By that time the little horses and carriage were quite ready for her to start. As soon as Clara was seated the little peanut horses trotted Off. They ran for ten miles in a straight line, and for five miles more in a crooked one, and after that they galloped as fast as they could for twenty minutes, and after that they walked slowly for half an hour. Then the peanut horses turned a corner, and before them lay a beautiful paper road. It was as white as snow and just as smooth as marble. Clara knew this must be the road to paper-land.
