There was something in this strange creature—half boy in 43appearance—that excited his interest and curiosity, and he continued the conversation.

“What sort of a woman is your granny, as you call her?” he asked.

Nhưng có lẽ tác giả bỏ ngỏ nội tâm và tình cảm của vị thuyền trường và Tom khi gặp lại nhau sau 15 tháng làm tôi hụt hẫng. Tôi đã hy vọng nhiề

Nice and interesting story by Horatio Alger.
I've read He wrote such stories to attract attentions of wealthy people to ragged children, to come up with their problems.I hope he could made it whenever.

Oh, this is my favorite of all of Horatio Alger's rags-to-riches tales. Like all the stories in the Tattered Tom and Ragged Dick series of novellas, it has a wonderful story and a great ending. But this one has such an marvelous and unexpected twist, I didn't see it coming. I lost track of my copy o
