Excerpt from The Winston Readers: Third Reader
There was once a little brownie, who lived in a coal cellar. Now a coal cellar is a curious place to live in; but then a brownie is a curious creature. He is not one of the fairies who flit about on butterfly wings. Of what use would they be in a coal cellar?
He is a sober, stay-at-home little elf. He is not much to look at, even if you do see him, which is not likely. He is only a little Old man, about a foot high, all dressed in brown, with brown face and hands and a brown peaked cap. He is the color Of a brown mouse and, like a mouse, he hides in corners of the kitchen and comes out after dark when nobody is about.
I said you were not likely to see him. I never did, and never knew anybody who did. Still I have heard many funny stories about brownies, and so I may as well tell you the adventures of a brownie who followed a family about from house to house for many years.
