Trying to find a story


This is a long shot, I know. But I remember reading a story in a "reading" textbook in school. It was about 2 boys who wanted to ride a sled, but their father wouldn't allow them to on a "Sabbath" day, so they sneaked out with their grandfather to ride it.
There was a line "first James, then George, then Grandpa" in it.
It was around a 2nd or 3rd grade reading book.
Anyone know the story or where to find the book it was in?
I tried Google and didn't find it.

That is from Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Glad to be of help. Full text can be found at Project Gutenberg, The Faded Page, and probably Internet Archive.
