Madeline...
An Icon of Today's Society
By: Katie M.
In an old house
in Paris, that was covered with vines, lived twelve little girls in two
straight lines. In two straight lines they broke their bread, and
brushed their teeth, and went to bed. They smiled at the good, and
frowned at the bad, and sometimes they were very sad. They left the
house at half past nine, in two straight lines, in rain or shine...the
smallest one was Madeline!
