"What cut down trees for?"
"To make posts and rails to fence in more ground. I shall not leave the boughs on."
"No cut them off by-and-by, and then put poles on the cart and carry them home."
Edward and Humphrey then recommenced their labor, and worked for another half hour, when they paused to recover their wind.
"Hard work, Pablo," said Humphrey.
"Yes, very hard work; Pablo not strong enough."
"Oh no, you are not able to do any thing of this kind, I know. No work this for gipsies; they take birds' nests and catch rabbits."
"Yes," replied Pablo, nodding, "and you eat them."
"So he does, Pablo," said Edward, "so you are useful in your way; for if he had nothing to eat, he would not be able to work. Strong man cut down trees, weak man catch rabbits."
"Both good," said Pablo.
