Virginia Yerxa Community Read
“How could we save for land?”
"You must take an empty condensed-milk can and wash it well.”
“A can… ?”
“Cut off the top neatly. Cut strips down the can the length of your finger...Bend the strips backward. The can will look like a clumsy star. Make a slit in the top. Then nail the can, a nail in each strip, in the darkest corner of your closet. Each day put five cents in it. In three years there will be a small fortune, fifty dollars. Take the money and buy a lot in the country.”
