And then how Cuffy Bear did roar—just one second after he had stuck his paws into the steaming pan. You see—he was so greedy that he had never once stopped to think that the syrup was boiling hot. Now, usually if you pick up anything hot you can drop it at once. But it is not so with hot maple syrup... #story #kidsstories ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned... You can read the actual account in Luke 2:41-50 in the Bible. #Biblestory #truestory #story ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

Another day had come and all the morning long Cuffy Bear and his sister Silkie played and played as hard as they could. They played that they were making maple-sugar. And they pretended to hang buckets on all the trees near Mr. Bear's house. There were no maple trees... #story #kidsstories ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

After leaving the wonderful spring Cuffy Bear was so long getting home that he decided he would not say anything to his father and mother about what he had found. You see—he was afraid they would tell him not to go so far away from home again. But Cuffy had not been long in the snug little house before he had a terrible stomach-ache... #story #kidsstories ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

The pricks of the porcupine's quills made Cuffy Bear's paws so sore that it was several days before he could run about again. And during all that time Cuffy was a very good little bear. He did not cuff his sister Silkie once. You see, he knew it would hurt his sore paws if he did. The days were still fine. Cuffy loved to feel the bright sunshine upon his black coat. It warmed him through and throu...

For a few minutes Cuffy stood in the doorway and blinked and blinked. He rubbed his eyes, for the bright sunlight hurt them. But soon he and Silkie were frisking and tumbling about in the front-yard. After a little while Cuffy remembered that there was an old tree over in the pine woods—just the finest tree to climb that anybody could want. "Let's go over to the old tree and play," Cuffy said. "Bu...

Far up on the side of Blue Mountain lived Cuffy Bear with his father and mother and his little sister Silkie. Mr. Bear's house was quite the finest for many miles around. It was what people call a cave, being made entirely of stone... #story #kidsstories ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

Now when Jesus was, born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He, that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him. When Herod had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem With him... You can read the actual account in Matthew 2, in the Bible. #B...

The Ruggleses had finished a last romp in the library with Paul and Hugh, and Uncle Jack had taken them home and stayed a while to chat with Mrs. Ruggles, who opened the door for them, her face all aglow with excitement and delight. When Kitty and Clem showed her the oranges and nuts that they had kept for her, she astonished them by saying that at six o'clock Mrs. Bird had sent her in the finest....

The children went out of the back door quietly, and were presently lost to sight, Sarah Maud slipping and stumbling along absentmindedly, as she recited rapidly under her breath... #story #kidsstories ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

Before the earliest Ruggles could wake and toot his five-cent tin horn, Mrs. Ruggles was up and stirring about the house, for it was a gala day in the family. Gala day! I should think so! Were not her nine children invited to a dinner-party at the great house, and weren't they going to sit down free and equal with the mightiest in the land? She had been preparing for this grand occasion ever since...

Uncle Jack did really come on the twentieth. He was not detained by business, nor did he get left behind nor snowed up, as frequently happens in stories, and in real life too, I am afraid. The snow-storm came also; and the turkey nearly died a natural and premature death from overeating. Donald came, too; Donald, with a line of down upon his upper lip, and Greek and Latin on his tongue, and stores...

Carol herself knew nothing of unshed tears and fatherly anxieties; she lived on peacefully in the room where she was born. But you never would have known that room; for Mr. Bird had a great deal of money, and though he felt sometimes as if he wanted to throw it all into the sea, since it could not buy a strong body for his little girl, yet he was glad to make the place she lived in... #story #kids...

It was December, ten years later. Carol had seen nine Christmas trees lighted on her birthdays, one after another; nine times she had assisted in the holiday festivities of the household, though in her babyhood her share of... #story #kidsstories ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

It was very early Christmas morning, and in the stillness of the dawn, with the soft snow falling on the housetops, a little child was born in the Bird household. They had intended to name the baby Lucy, if it were a girl; but they had not expected her on Christmas morning... #story #kidsstories #christmas ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

Christmas morning in the old Tory Hill Meeting-House was felt by all of the persons who were present in that particular year to be a most exciting and memorable occasion. The old sexton quite outdid himself, for although he had rung the bell for more than thirty years, he had never felt greater pride or joy in his task. Was not his son John home for Christmas, and John’s wife, and a grandchild new...

Justin Peabody silently closed the inner door, and stood in the entry with his head bent and his heart in a whirl until he should hear Nancy rise to her feet. He must take this Heaven-sent chance of telling her all, but how do it without alarming her? A moment, and her step sounded in the stillness of the empty church. Obeying the first... #story #storiesforchidren #kidsstories ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Sto...

These were the reasons that had brought Justin Peabody to Edgewood on the Saturday afternoon before Christmas, and had taken him to the new tavern on Tory Hill, near the Meeting-House. Nobody recognized him at the station or noticed him at the tavern, and after his supper he put on his overcoat and started out for a walk,aimlessly hoping that he might meet a friend, or failing that, intending to c...

...And when the days according to the law of Moses were accomplished, Joseph and Mary brought the Child Jesus to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord, and to offer a sacrifice, according to the law of the Lord: A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons... #Biblestory #story #kidsstories ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

At this precise moment Justin Peabody was eating his own beans and brown bread (articles of diet of which his Detroit landlady was lamentably ignorant) at the new tavern, not far from the meeting-house. It would not be fair to him to say that Mrs. Burbank’s letter had brought him back to Edgewood, but it had certainly accelerated his steps... #story #kidsstories #storiesforadults ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft S...

It was Saturday afternoon, the twenty-fourth of December, and the weary sisters of the Dorcas band rose from their bruised knees and removed their little stores of carpet-tacks from their mouths. This was a feminine custom of long standing, and as no village dressmaker had ever died of pins in the digestive organs, so were no... #story #kidsstories #storiesforchildren ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

Justin Peabody had once faithfully struggled with the practical difficulties of life in Edgewood, or so he had thought, in those old days of which Nancy Wentworth was thinking as she wiped the paint of the Peabody pew. Work in the mills did not attract him; he had no capital to invest in a stock of goods for store-keeping; school-teaching... #story #storiesforkids ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classic

The old Meeting House wore an animated aspect when the eventful Friday came, a cold, brilliant, sparkling December day, with good sleighing, and with energy in every breath that swept over the dazzling snowfields. The sexton had built a fire in the furnace on the way to his morning work—a fire so economically contrived that it... #story #kidsstories #storiesforchildren ✝️❤️🗺️ AcreSoft Story Classi...

Edgewood, like all the other villages along the banks of the Saco, is full of sunny slopes and leafy hollows. There are little, rounded, green-clad hillocks that might, like their scriptural sisters, “skip with joy,” and there are grand, rocky hills tufted with gaunt pine trees—these leading the eye to the splendid heights of a neighbour State, where snow-crowned peaks tower in the blue distance,...

Frau Maurizius and Dorris were cordially welcomed home by their many friends, the void in church and community was again filled, and the winter passed quickly and happily. They were efficient helpers in ail good works, and dropped naturally into the life and activities about them. One bright morning in early spring Dorris stood upon the terrace, where Giacomo was pruning... #story #kidsstories #st...
