Now A Word About The Author
I chose the name "Timothy Haystubble" as the scribe to narrate this story, for several reasons. In the first place, I wished it to be written in a sort of off-hand, free-style manner that befits a country character. Timothy grass is one of the most common of hay crops. The stubble is that part of the parent plant left growing in the ground after haying. This will reproduce after its kind, in another season, from the original grass roots. There -- I trust that this explains the name of the author as well as the title of what you are about to read.
