A Christmas Accident, humorous story by Annie Eliot Trumbull

Hello! I've recorded a beautiful and fun story for this Christmas. 
"A Christmas Accident", written by Annie Eliot Trumbull and published in 1900 in the collection "A Christmas Accident and Other Stories" which you can find in project Gutenberg (https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/28307/pg28307-images.html).
So, the Biltons and the Giltons.
Side by side they lived - divided by a fence, a courtroom battle, and years of hurt.
One Christmas accident, though, altered both families forever… maybe.
After all, if Christmas spirit survived the summer, this world would be a very different kind of place...

Let's jump in and settle here.” " But his companion was wiser and said to his friend that they shouldn't make a hasty decision because " Supposing this well dried up like the marsh, how should we get out again?". The moral lesson of the fable is "Look twice before you jump", meaning that one should take the time and asses every aspect of a matter and also use past experiences, before making a decision that mig...

"Two Rich Men", by Ivan Turgenev
