Jo
Once upon a time in the hills of Hazard, Kentucky, lived a talented young girl named Josephina. People called her Jo. ... Playing her banjo became her favorite hobby; however, after her father passed away, Jo was forced to live on the farm with her demanding stepmother and her two strident stepsisters, Dolly and Polly. They left Jo with all the farm work, so she no longer had time to play her banjo. ... All of a sudden, she heard, “Jo! ...
“I just thought I’d play my banjo,” Jo replied. ... Jo sadly handed the banjo over to Dolly. The stepsisters began laughing and telling Jo that she was no good anyway, but Jo knew better than to listen to them. ... ”
The next day slowly came, and Jo began her daily chores. ...
Jo tried to think of some way to get a banjo and play in the contest. ...
Jo worked day and night on both her farm and the other farm. ... “Now, you must get this house cleaned from top to bottom by the time we get back from the carnival,” Dolly said to Jo.
