The Humane Man and the Bull Calf.

"Make veal of that pretty creature! 'Tis a shame!" says the Humane Man. "I will buy him and take him home to the children."

"Ef Oi was you, Oi wud niver toi that rope around me waist," says the former proprietor of the calf.

"Oh, never fear; he is a gentle thing," says the Humane Man.

The "gentle thing" develops a tendency to play rather startling to the Humane Man.
