[00:05.631]	In eighteen seventy-six
[00:09.252]	Cars were not invented.
[00:11.651]	They didn’t have the radio
[00:13.886]	Or movies or t.v.
[00:16.488]	And they had more diseases then
[00:18.847]	Which now can be prevented
[00:21.539]	But someone wrote a book that year
[00:23.854]	That still gets read by kids today like me.
[00:28.400]
[00:31.512]	In eighteen seventy-six
[00:34.208]	There wasn’t indoor plumbing
[00:36.620]	They didn’t have a ton of things
[00:38.924]	We take for granted now.
[00:41.270]	Though every year there seems to be
[00:43.683]	Some luxury that’s coming
[00:46.184]	A book like this from way back then
[00:48.649]	Is still around somehow.
[00:50.238]
[00:50.910]	I guess i used to think
[00:52.391]	That books were only words on paper
[00:55.061]	But when i’m reading this
[00:56.663]	It’s like tom sawyer’s really here.
[00:59.445]	When things are written down
[01:01.023]	They don’t just disappear like vapor.
[01:03.779]	They travel on through time
[01:05.460]	Beyond that one specific year.
[01:09.582]
[01:11.305]	And i think writing stuff like that
[01:13.909]	Would make a neat career.
[01:17.591]
[01:19.843]	In eighteen seventy-six
[01:22.832]	Some guy from missouri
[01:25.789]	Put all these adventures down
[01:28.363]	And made them come alive.
[01:30.696]	And just because that writer
[01:33.334]	Wrote this one amazing story
[01:38.771]	Eighteen seventy-six
[01:40.523]	Was so much better than
[01:44.261]	Eighteen seventy-five.
