1876-Neil Bartram

[00:05.631]In eighteen seventy-six [00:09.252]Cars were not invented. [00:11.651]They didn’t have the radio [00:13.886]Or movies or t.v. [00:16.488]And they had more diseases then [00:18.847]Which now can be prevented [00:21.539]But someone wrote a book that year [00:23.854]That still gets read by kids today like me. [00:28.400] [00:31.512]In eighteen seventy-six [00:34.208]There wasn’t indoor plumbing [00:36.620]They didn’t have a ton of things [00:38.924]We take for granted now. [00:41.270]Though every year there seems to be [00:43.683]Some luxury that’s coming [00:46.184]A book like this from way back then [00:48.649]Is still around somehow. [00:50.238] [00:50.910]I guess i used to think [00:52.391]That books were only words on paper [00:55.061]But when i’m reading this [00:56.663]It’s like tom sawyer’s really here. [00:59.445]When things are written down [01:01.023]They don’t just disappear like vapor. [01:03.779]They travel on through time [01:05.460]Beyond that one specific year. [01:09.582] [01:11.305]And i think writing stuff like that [01:13.909]Would make a neat career. [01:17.591] [01:19.843]In eighteen seventy-six [01:22.832]Some guy from missouri [01:25.789]Put all these adventures down [01:28.363]And made them come alive. [01:30.696]And just because that writer [01:33.334]Wrote this one amazing story [01:38.771]Eighteen seventy-six [01:40.523]Was so much better than [01:44.261]Eighteen seventy-five. [01:53.253]
