Fine Place For A Sarsaparilla



Excerpt from Stuart Little
 by E.B. White


“In this loveliest of all towns
Stuart stopped to get a drink of sarsaparilla.

Parking his car in front of the general store, 
he stepped out and the sun felt so good 
that he sat down on the porch for a few moments to enjoy the feeling of being in nice place on a fine day… it seemed to him a place
he would gladly spend the rest of his life in, 
if it weren’t that he might get homesick for the sights of New York, 
and for his family.

After a while the storekeeper came out to smoke a cigarette, 
and he joined Stuart on the front steps.

He started to offer Stuart a cigarette 
but when he noticed how small he was he changed his mind.”
