Résumé

"Pee-Wee Harris" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a delightful tale centered around the spirited and resourceful Boy Scout, Pee-wee Harris. The story begins with Pee-wee receiving an invitation from his Aunt Jamsiah to spend the summer in the quaint village of Everdoze. Enthusiastic about the prospect of adventure, Pee-wee embarks on a journey to the countryside, where he is warmly welcomed by his aunt, uncle, and a spirited girl named Pepsy. Pepsy, a former orphan, has found a home with Pee-wee's relatives and quickly becomes his partner in mischief and enterprise. Pee-wee, with his boundless energy and imagination, concocts a plan to start a refreshment stand in the wellhouse by the roadside. He envisions selling lemonade, fudge, and other treats to travelers, despite the road's infrequent traffic. Pepsy, captivated by Pee-wee's enthusiasm, joins him in this venture, and together they prepare signs and plan their offerings. The story humorously depicts their interactions with the local villagers, including the boastful Deadwood Gamely, who initially mocks their efforts but eventually shows interest in their plans. Throughout the narrative, Pee-wee's scout skills and indomitable spirit shine as he navigates challenges and forges friendships. The story captures the essence of childhood adventure, camaraderie, and the simple joys of rural life. Fitzhugh's portrayal of Pee-wee as a determined and inventive young scout serves as a guide for young readers, emphasizing the values of loyalty, resourcefulness, and friendship.
