What would you do if your little brother fell into a manhole?
A true story from a book of stories pubished in 1918.
The short two page story tells about a little boy that fell down a manhole. Read the whole story or just these little pieces of it.
"The street cleaners were dumping the dirty, snow from the street into a manhole, which opened into a big drain. This drain carried off the rain in summer and the snow in winter.
While the shovelers were at work, Willie toddled across the street. Before the men near the manhole could stop him, he disappeared into the round opening.....
"Frank Brown came running up. Now, Frank was only twelve years old, but he was a boy of quick wit and great presence of mind.
“Let me go down and get him out," cried Frank to the workmen.
