Reading edition

One day the mother, when she went out to her work, left the girl some beans to cook for dinner, and some pieces of bacon-rind2 to stew along with them. When the pieces of bacon-rind were nicely done, she took them out and ate them herself, and then found a pair of dirty old shoe-soles, which she pared in slices, and put them into the stew for her mother.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
