Explore "Aunt 'Liza's Hero" by Annie Fellows Johnston on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
AUNT 'LIZA BARNES leaned over the front gate at the end of the garden / path, and pulled her black sunbonnet farther over her wrinkled face to / shade her dim eyes from the glare of the morning sun. Something unusual / was happening down the street, judging from the rapidly approaching / noise and dust.
Aunt 'Liza had been weeding her little vegetable garden at the back of / the house when she first heard the confused shouting of many voices. She / thought it was a runaway, and hurried to the gate as fast as her / rheumatic joints would allow.
