Charlie the Great White Horse and the Story of the Magic Jingle Bells

by Kenneth Mullinix

  Mr. Beamer continued to tell stories on his back porch with his corn pipe in hand, on warm summer nights. His favorite story and the one he tells most often is of course about, "Charlie the Great Horse and the story of the Magic Jingle Bells".

  One particularly warm night in the summertime, Mrs. Beamer with Miss Hattie May, invited almost everyone from the town over for a "Big Barnyard Dance". In attendance that night were: The Mayor and his wife Bernice, Doc Wellman, as well as the Fire Chief Marvin Waterwick, the Chief of Police and his wife attended as well Mr. & Mrs. Pinkerman, Ms. Trumble the Schoolmaster and of course all of Louis friends from school. Even Mr. Turkey came by. The barn was all decorated for the evening. Fresh baked pies, pastries, and iced tea were served to the delight of everyone present. All said that the pies that night were the best they ever tasted.

  After the barnyard dance was over everyone settled in together at Mr. Beamer's back porch, under the covered patio. The gas-lamps, and fire pit were lit once again, as all sat down, waiting for Mr. Beamer to tell another one of his long winded, and tall fables, of past adventure, and daring.

  On this particular night, Mr. Beamer told the fantastic story about Charlie once again, because no one ever seemed to get tired of hearing it. When he was finished with his fascinating story: Mr. Beamer began to sing, as all in attendance on the back porch that night, began to sing, and dance right along with him:

  All happily singing about: "Charlie the Great White Horse".
