The only problem was they keep in under lock and key and their only window was blacked-out.
We had tried to enter the barn forcefully, but as little four and seven year-olds there wasn’t much we could do except just shake the padlock vigorously. There was no chance of getting in there.

So me and my brother watched to see if Mr. Martin would ever make the mistake of accidentally leaving the barn door unlocked, yet that day had never come.
Until after church, in July we had just gotten back, and as always me and my brother would race to the window to see if the lock was there. Doubtfully we ran upstairs and checked the lock. My brother got there
