“Give me the other,” said Henry, “and you shall have my dipper.”
“Well,” said Rollo.
“I should rather have a basket,” said James.
“No,” said Rollo, “I think a dipper is better. I can get some drink with it, if we come to any brook.”
“But you must give me some drink out of the dipper, if I want any,” said Henry—
“Well,” said Rollo, “I will.”
“Though I can drink without a dipper,” said Henry.
“How?” said Rollo.
“O, I can get a piece of elder, and punch out the pith, and that will make a hollow reed; and I can draw up the water through that into my mouth.”
