Explore "The Jolly Cabordmen" by Frank R. Stockton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There was once a nation of remarkably genial people who knew no evil and would not have practiced it if they had known it. They were very industrious, and their days were so busy and they took such an interest in their work, that they had no time to be wicked or sad.
They were called Cabordmen, for what reason I know not, for the name of their country was not Cabord. Their principal industry was tilling the soil, and they generally worked with a will.
