Jed Holcomb's Prize Box (1913)
Louise is her daddy's joy and pride. She is the darling of the boys, but she favors bashful Si. Joel proposes to Louise, who very promptly turns an optimist into a misanthrope. Daddy and the boys dread the plowing and view the many tillable acres with dislike. Joel, having a desire to see someone else humiliated as well as himself, makes a proposition to daddy, who slaps his leg and adopts it. The next day the boys see a notice posted up, which reads: "The boy who ploughs the most ground by the end of the week will be given my little pet." The boys gasp. He means Louise. They fall over each other to get the plows and the acres are furrowed in the shortest time on record. Si is tickled to death. The others consider a demand for a substantial bonus for faithful service, for Si wins in a plough walk. The prize giving day arrives and Joel assists dad in putting a little pet goat in a big box. It is covered up and daddy and Joel go to prepare for the presentation ceremony. They have reckoned without their gift, however, for Louise has seen their little plot and sets to work to overthrow their sinister machinations. She liberates the goat. Louise conceals herself in the box. Si undoes the box, and lo. Louise pops out.
