Listen in the reader

Parunts knows lots more than us, But they don't know all things,— 'Cause we ketch 'em, lots o' times, Even on little small things. One time Winnie ask' her Ma, At the winder, sewin', What's the wind a-doin' when It's a-not a-blowin'? Yes, an' 'Del', that very day, When we're nearly froze out, He ask' Uncle where it goes When the fire goes out? Nen I run to ask my Pa, That way, somepin' funny; But I can't say ist but "Say," When he turn to me an' say, "Well, what is it, Honey?"
