First Sentence: |
The barn is a farm improvement made of anything from a bunch of ash posts and some old straw to hard pine lumber, bricks and cement; and it is used as a place inwhich to hold dances which are too rough to be in the house, and it is also utilized as a shelter chiefly for several hundred pigeons, several thousand sparrows, numberless rats and mice, and an occasional tramp. |
Last Sentence: |
If the barn escapes all this and can dodge double-geared chain lightning consistently, it has a fairly good chance of standing a while, so that a cycloe can come along and show it some aviation tricks, which is what is meant by "barn raisings." |
