Once there was a girl named Katy, who wanted
to do many wonderful things. She tried to be good, but
she always ended up being bad. There were six Carr
children—four girls and two boys.
Dr. Carr, their Papa, took care of sick people. The
children did not have a mother because she had died. So
Aunt Izzie, Papa’s sister, came to live with them. She was
a small woman who looked old. The children did not like
to listen to her.
