The Child-Who-Was-Tired (Unabridged)

The Child-Who-Was-Tired is a short story by Katherine Mansfield: She was just beginning to walk along a little white road with tall black trees on either side, a little road that led to nowhere, and where nobody walked at all, when a hand gripped her shoulder, shook her, slapped her ear. – «Oh, oh, don't stop me,» cried the Child-Who-Was-Tired. «Let me go.»
