"What do you want to stay around here for? Ain't there other countries besides this?"
The old man sniggered in his silly way, then he went to the warden, and hanging his head with a demented leer said:
"Warden, the Kid said there's other countries besides this."
He stood, swaying like a doltish school-boy from side to side, grinning, with his tongue lolling over his lips.
The warden summoned the Kid.
"What do you mean," he said, "putting notions in old Farlow's head?"
The Kid was surprised.
"Oh, come off," said the warden impatiently. "You know--telling him there were other countries besides this?"
"Oh!" said the Kid with sudden illumination. "Oh, now I know what you mean!" And he laughed. "He asked me where I was from and I told him Canada. Then he wanted to know if Canada was in this country, and I told him there were other countries besides this."
"You're too smart, Willie," said the warden. "You'd better go back to the shops."
