“Where did you get your breakfast this morning?”
“A man gave me some.”
“And where did you get your dinner?”
“I have not had any dinner, sir.”
“No dinner!—I should think you would be too tired and hungry to chase butterflies, without any dinner.”
“I was too tired, and so I stopped.”
The gentleman, after talking with the boy a little longer, concluded to take him into his waggon, and carry him home.
“Jump up behind into my waggon, Jonas,” said he, “and I will give you some supper.”
So Jonas jumped up behind and rode home with them. You will hear more about him hereafter, for who do you think this gentleman was? Why it was Rollo’s father, and the boy who was riding with him was Rollo himself. Jonas lived with Rollo a long time, and became a very industrious, useful boy. He used to take care of Rollo, and play with him.
