Mr. L. Your shoes are full of holes. Don’t you want a new pair?
Boy. I have a better pair for Sundays.
Mr. L. But these let in water.
Boy. I do not mind that, sir.
Mr. L. Your hat is all torn, too.
Boy. I have a better one at home.
Mr. L. What do you do if you are hungry before it is time to go home?
Boy. I sometimes eat a raw turnip.
Mr. L. But if there are none?
Boy. Then I do as well as I can without. I work on and never think of it.
