Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine-year-old Bessie is the hardworking daughter of a widow, who lives out in the country. Her mother sells quilts to neighbours, and does whatever it takes to make ends meet. But, like many of her neighbours, she is extremely poor. And the water from the stream often makes the locals sick with fever. Bessie soon discovers that she can make a meager amount of money selling watercress that grow on her property. It is not much, but gives her and her mom a bit of money to get through the brutally cold winters. Bessie and her friends often forage for nuts in the dense woods, and their friend teaches them how to fish at the pond. And that is where Bessie and her friends meet the mischievous squirrel, who causes them trouble.

Book excerpt: Little Bessie, the Careless Girl : or Squirrels, Nuts, and Water-Cresses Bessie found that it was so. There was the squirrel's head, twisted oddly on one side, in order to get a good view of his disturbers. His keen eyes were fixed anxiously on them, as though to discover the cause of their intrusion. Presently he leaped on a branch of a shrub, and sat staring solemnly at them. "It can't be a squirrel," said Bessie, "after all; its tail is not half bushy or long enough." "It jumps like one," said Nellie, "and its eyes and ears are just like a squirrel's too. See, it's gray and white!" They approached slowly, the little animal permitting them to come quite close, and then the children saw that it was indeed a squirrel, but that its tail had, by some accident, been torn nearly half away. "Perhaps it has been caught in a trap," suggested Nelly. "Or in a branch of a tree," said Bessie. "Well, anyway, little Mr. Squirrel, we shall know you again if we meet you." "I should say," exclaimed Nelly, "that there must be plenty of nuts somewhere near us, or that gray squirrel would not be likely to be here." The two girls now set about searching for a hickory nut-tree, quite encouraged in the thought that their walk was to be rewarded at last. Nelly was right in her[16] conjecture. It was not long before they recognized the well-known leaf of the species of tree of which they were in quest. A small group of them stood together, not far distant, and great was the delight of the children to find the ground beneath well strewed with nuts, some of them lying quite free from their rough outer shells, others only partially opened, while many of them were still in the exact state in which they hung upon the tree. Of course the former were preferred by the little nut gatherers, but it was found that as these did not fill the bag and baskets, it was necessary to shell some of the remainder. Accordingly, Bessie selected a large flat stone, as the scene of operation, and providing herself with another small one, as a hammer, she began pounding the unshelled nuts, and by these means accumulated a second store; Nelly gathering them, and making a pile beside her, ready to be denuded of their hard green coverings.
