ALARM AT NIGHT: STORY FOR YOUNG READERS - Shirley King Johnson - April 15, 1985

Shirley King Johnson

Major trotted beside Jim and his friend Harry as they approached an abandoned barn in the neighbor's pasture. It was a dismal sight with a few boards missing up toward the peak of the roof, and the big, old hay door banged in the wind. Major saw movement. A mouse scampered around the corner and disappeared through a small hole in the door. Major scratched at the door. "Wooor!"!" "Never mind, Major!" Jim called, "You don't need to go in there," "Aw come on, let's all go in for a look around," Harry urged. He tried to work the rusty latch on the sagging door. "I'm not going into that barn," Jim replied. "Why not? Nobody lives on this farm. Nobody cares." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
