Dew Drops, Vol. 37, No. 17, April 26, 1914

A sunny Florida setting frames the opening tale, where a group of children discover a strange, half‑coiled snake on their mother’s bed. Their imaginations run wild as they debate how the creature slipped inside, who will confront it, and what to do next, creating a lively mix of fear and bravado. The collection then shifts to a light‑hearted poem about raindrops racing down a windowpane, capturing the simple delight of stormy weather. A mischievous dog’s kitchen escapade follows, where curiosity with a candle leads to a painful lesson about respecting limits.

The final pieces round out the volume with a gentle celebration of the season’s arrival. A short verse welcomes spring’s songbirds and the first redwing, inviting listeners to picture blooming trees and warm breezes. Together, these stories and verses offer a nostalgic, family‑friendly listening experience that balances humor, suspense, and the charm of early‑20th‑century childhood imagination.
