' -54 BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD Hiking down a New England road one warm summer day, Sam Walter Foss stopped to rest in the shade of a great tree. Near him on ths-opposite side of the tree, he spied a plain board fence, thickly overgrown with a profusion of leafy bushes that gave a cooling effect. There was a sign on the fence: THERE IS A SPRING INSIDE THE FENCE. DRINK IF YOU ARE THIRSTY. Foss climbed over, found the spring and drank deeply of the refreshing water. Beside the spring there stood a rugged bench, which bore another sign: SIT DOWN AND REST IF YOU ARE Beside the bench was a card reading: IF YOU HELP These invitations eagerly a old man watching a kindly-faced Seeing the embarrassment of the nYou see, water is going to waste, and Wu wo could get thirsty travellers friend, my wife TIRED. basket of apples, on which was a LIKE APPLES, YOURSELF. ooepted, Foss presently saw him with friendly interest. visitor, the old man explained nd I own this place, and the thought it would be nice if to stop and drink some of it. Then, this is a pleasant spot to rest in, and we had this old bench up in the attic whore it was doing nobody any good, so I fetched it down here. Right now we've got more apples than we can use, and we felt it would be a satisfaction to us to share them with others, So I put up the signs and,H ho added, with a twinkle in his eye, as Foss was burying his teeth in a large juicy apple, Uthey seem to be doing some little good.W This was the inspiration for Sam Walter Foss to write the familiar lines: Let me live in a house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by-- The men who are good and the men who are bad, As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat, Or hurl the cynic's bang Lot me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man.
