But …..You can read along with me as I read

hello this is Janie here from puppy loves me.net

and today I’m going to read

“Mickey Mouse those were the

days”

hurry Uncle Mickey we’re late cried

Morty we’re not late said Mickey the sun

isn’t even up yet but Mr bumbles is up said Ferdie he

pointed to a sign that read Founders

Village a landmark that showed what life

was like in the olden days there stood

Mr bumbles the caretaker with his

suitcase and his train ticket he was all

ready to leave on his vacation Morty and Ferdie ran to say

goodbye to Mr bumbles Mickey and the

boys were to be the caretakers of

Founders Village while Mr bumbles was

away we know just what to do said Morty

every morning the horse gets hitch to

the Surrey then when all the people come

we’ll take them for a surrey ride around the

village afterward we’ll serve homemade lemonade

and popcorn ferdie said we’ll make the

popcorn on the wood burning

stove sounds like you have it down pat

said Mr bumbles a taxi came up the hill

and Mr bumbles got in and sped away want

this be fun cried ferdie a whole week

living just the way our grandparents did

those were the days huh Morty chuckled

as they started for the stable to

Hitch up the horse the horse had other ideas it would not

go near the Surrey and it would not stand

still the horse pranced and stamped and

reared the boys scampered and prodded

and pleaded but they could not get the

harness on the animal Mickey tried to help the boys the

horse made a snorting whining noise at

him and then it trotted into the stable

and wouldn’t come out again Morty sigh

maybe nobody will want a s ride today he

said maybe if we give people lots of

lemonade popcorn they won’t even

remember we have a surrey we can hope said Mickey but he

didn’t sound too hopeful Mickey and the

boys went to the kitchens to start on

the lemonade instead of a faucet they

found a pump for water Mickey pumped the

handle up and down up and down the pump

rattled and squealed and squeaked but

not a drop of water came out

Morty searched the cupboards where’s the

juicer he cried and where’s the outlet

to plug in the juicer we can’t squeeze

lemons without a juicer we can’t serve lemonade without

ice either said Ferdie there are no ice

cubes in the this refrigerator it’s not

a refrigerator said Mickey it’s an ice

box and it’s empty wow I’ll go to town later and buy some

ice said Mickey could you buy some wood too asked Morty

the wood box is empty there’s a wood pile behind the

stable said Mickey you know what that

means does it mean we’re supposed to

chop big pieces of wood into little

pieces asked ferdie Mickey grinned you’re

living in the good old days now and in

those days boys chopped

wood the boys sighed but they chopped

the wood and then Mickey made a fire in

the old stove for about 3 minutes the

small fire burned brightly and then smoke began to billow

out into the kitchen Uncle Mickey the

stove’s on fire yelled Morty Mickey

opened the stove lid water he shouted get

water I’ll put it out but there was no

water the pump didn’t work ferdie

coughed and choked he pulled the front

door open I’ll call the fire department

he yelled he ran around Founder’s Village

looking for a telephone but there was

none to be found in the good old days people didn’t have

telephones by the time ferdie got back to

the house the fire had died down Mickey

had thrown baking soda on the fire to

put it out that does it said Mickey you two air

out the kitchen I’m going to town Mickey

drove away toward town when he came back

he had eyes for the ice box I made a

couple of phone calls in town Mickey

told the boys help is on the way

before long there was a rattling

clanking chugging puffing sound on the

road it was Goofy speeding to the rescue

in his old car Minnie Mouse was with

Goofy and so were Horace Horsecollar and

Clarabelle Cow Clarabelle had once lived in the

country so she knew about wood burning

stoves she turned a handle on the stove

pipe that opens the draft she said now

the stove pipe is clear and the smoke

can go up the chimney sure enough when Mickey started

a new fire in the stove not a puff of

smoke came out into the kitchen Clarabelle

started popping corn Minnie had never lived in the

country before but she knew that

lemonade was invented before a new

people knew about electricity she opened

a cupboard and took out funny looking

Gadget my Grandma had a hand user and it

worked just fine Minnie said this one

should work too Ferdie cut some lemons Ferdie did and

Minnie squeezed them on the hand

juicer Horace Horsecollar fiddled with a

pump I don’t think it’s broken he said

it just needs to be primed with water

it’s a lucky thing I brought some water

just in case Horace carried a pail in

from the car he poured water from the

pail into the pump and then he moved the

pump handle up and down this time the

pump did not make an empty rattling squeaky

sound this time the pump gushed water

great cried ferdie now we’ll be all set if

somebody can figure out an easy way to

chop some more wood no problem said

Horace he led Morty and Ferdie out to the

wood pile a car was pulled into a parking

slot near the stable a mother and father

were in the front seat of the car and

two kids were in the back seat start

chopping Horace told the boys and smile

you love to chop wood you’re having a

great time we got to be kidding said Morty but

he and Ferdie began to chop the wood and

with huge grins on their faces they even

laughed out loud and then now and then

as they worked the kids from the car wandered

over to see what was happening after

they watched for a minute one of them

said hey Dad can I chop some wood you

can if you promise to be very careful

said the father I’ll stand here and

watch oh maybe you better not said Morty

it’s really hard work added Ferdie

but the kids begged and pleaded soon

Morty and Ferdie gave up their axes and

let the visitors chop the

wood pretty smart aren’t you Morty said

to Horace maybe you know how we can hit the

horse to the Surrey but Goofy was tending

to the horse he led the horse out of the

stable and he whispered something in the

horse’s ear the horse gave a startled

snort and then it backed it to the surrey

and Stood Still and Goofy hitched it up

presto the surrey was ready for a load

of passengers what did you say to the horse

gasped Ferdie I told him if he wanted to

lose his job I could fix it up for him

said goofy I said that my jalopy is as

old as anything in Founder’s Village but

it will start easier than a stubborn

horse and people love to ride in

it the rest of the day was Grand the

rest of the week was even better with surrey

rides and fresh lemonade and hot popcorn

for everyone the olden days really were

good weren’t they said Ferdie you bet said

Mickey but with good friends any day is

good

the end

have a blessed day
