My Harris Burdick Picture

I chose the 14th picture from the book.

I think the lost story is;

One day not so long ago, there was two children. Their names were John and Joe. They went out exploring in the woods. They found an old man. He was a hermit. He showed them their past, present, and their future. They both wanted to be an astronaut when they grew up. But what the hermit showed them was not what they had expected. They did go to college and learn astronomy like the boys pictured. But they were so surprised when they saw it. They always had wanted to live on the on the moon for a few days so they had put rocket thrusters on their house! So they lived on the moon for two weeks and then came back. But when that day came they were on the news. This was the heading The House On Maple Street It Was A Perfect Liftoff.
