The Cloud with the Silver Lining with Study Notes

This is the story of a happy year. Milton and Timmy, two young Jamaican boys, keep their grandfather’s smallholding going after he loses a leg. Tending the goats, feeding the hens, milking the cow, selling the produce – it’s all good fun. Seeing how lonely his housebound grandfather is becoming, Milton decides to raise the money to buy a buggy to get him to church. The idea of a stall at the village Christmas fair turns out to be a real moneyspinner; now Milton has to try to persuade Pal Joe, the donkey, to pull the new buggy.
