Explore "Cousin Rufus' Story" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
My little story, Cousin Rufus said, / Is not so much a story as a fact.
It is about a certain willful boy -- / An aggrieved, unappreciated boy, / Grown to dislike his own home very much, / By reason of his parents being not / At all up to his rigid standard and / Requirements and exactions as a son / And disciplinarian.
