    Büyük ormanın ortasında küçük bir göl vardı. Ağaçların arasında kalan gölün küçücük dalgaları, minik midye kabuklarıyla dolu kıyıya vuruyordu. Kıyıda dalgalarla dövülmüş kum taneleri arasında karıncalar sağa sola koşuşturuyordu. Küçük kayalar arasındaki yengeçlerin gözleri bir göle bir kumlara dönüyordu. Kıyının hemen yanında türlü türlü otlar, çiçekler gölün etrafını süslüyordu. Ağaçların arasından gölü ziyarete gelen birçok canlı vardı. Su içmeye gelen tavşanlar, tilkiler, gölde yaşayan kurbağalar, çiçeklerden beslenen kelebekler, arılar, balık avlayan kuşlar ve daha neler neler… Saymakla bitmez.
    
    Ancak biz gelelim kuyruklarını sallaya sallaya, sağa sola devrile devrile yürüyen; arada vak vak öten ördek ailesine. Bu aile küçük bir aile değildi. Oldukça kalabalık bir ördek sürüsüydü. Yaklaşık yirmi yavru, onların anne ve babaları, teyzeleri, diğer akrabaları hepsi bir arada geziyorlardı. Otuz beş - kırk ördekten oluşuyordu bu büyük ördek sürüsü.

    Little Tommy Tucker sang for his supper. 
    What did he sing for? white bread and butter. 
    How could he cut it, without any knife? 
    How could he marry, without any wife? 
    LITTLE TOMMY TUCKER was a waif of the streets. He never remembered having a father or mother or any one to care for him, and so he learned to care for himself. He ate whatever he could get, and slept wherever night overtook him—in an old barrel, a cellar, or, when fortune favored him, he paid a penny for a cot in some rude lodging-house. His life about the streets taught him early how to earn a living by doing odd jobs, and he learned to be sharp in his speech and wise beyond his years.	One morning Tommy crawled out from a box in which he had slept over night, and found that he was hungry. His last meal had consisted of a crust of bread, and he was a growing boy with an appetite. But Tommy was a plucky boy with a lively wit and a way of making his way. People liked him and so he managed to earn a living and eat quite well and ended up as Sir. Tomas Tucker.

    A fascinating look into the life and times of civil rights activist and journalist, Ida B. Wells. Born to slave parents in 1862, Ida became a teacher while still in her teens, later attending classes at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1883, she boarded a train in Memphis. The conductor informed her she would need to move to the blacks-only car, despite the Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawing segregation such as this. After refusing, she was physically removed by three men. This marked Ida B. Well's transition from teacher to civil rights activist. Throughout her amazing adult life, she traveled throughout the country, and abroad, advocating for African American rights, publishing stories about the cause, and shedding light the horrors of lynching. While she married and had four children, she continued as one of the nation's leading activists, fighting for what she believed in until her death in 1931. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Wells's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
