Brothers, when we were young, the life of childhood was hard.

In winter we slept cold, and arose with teeth chattering, to build fires and carry ice water with hands that cracked and bled in the bitter blasts. Such were the hardships of a child with parents. The orphan's lot was worse, it was unbearable. Christmas was the one bright day in a dark year for them we had a toy, a pudding, a day of rest from toil. The orphan could not hope for even this.
