Though we became firm 8 with our new neighbors, we often had causes to be made angry by them. Our garden became an unsafe place: little boys 9 as cowboys or Indians would jump up from behind bushes, 10 wooden guns at us and 11 us to put our hands up. Sometimes our lives were 12 ; at others, we were killed with a 13 “Bang! Bang！”. Even more dangerous were the arrows that occasionally came sailing 14 the garden fence.

But we did not 15 go in fear for our lives. The Robinsons were friendly and helpful and when we left for the holidays, we knew we had nothing to fear 16 our neighbors were around. We understood what it was like to have 17 in the long friendless winter evenings 18 Mr. Robinson would 19 in for a cup of tea and chat; or when Mr. Robinson would 20 over the fence and talk endlessly with father about gardening problems.

When Charles Strattion was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P. T. Barnum, and thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’ parents along with him, and they traveled around the world together.
He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a new name, general Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.
Tom’s act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five.
Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a school teacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married.
The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town. They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about two thousand guests. Crowds filled the street of New York to have a look at their tiny wedding carriage. The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon, just before going to live in Tom’s house in Connecticut.
Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war. Not willing to let this bit of sunshine fade, communities throughout the country held Tom Thumb’s weddings. In these weddings, small boys and girls, all dressed up, went through marriage ceremony for fun.
