An Appalachian Mother's Love
Om denne e-bog
A few days went by and one morning I got up out of bed before Mom and Dad did. I walked into the living room and quietly sat down. I could hear Mom and Dad talking in their bedroom. I heard Mom say to Dad, You could buy Tony a good shot gun if you would do it. I heard Dad say back to Mom, Now I just dont have the money.
Mom told him, Its a sin to lie. Dad said to her, Well, you go buy him a gun if you can. Then Mom told him. I will get him a squirrel gun if it harelips old Billy Hell, you just wait and see if I dont.
