Boy. I have a better at home, but I had as leave have none at all, for it hurts my head.
Mr. L. What do you do when it rains?
Boy. If it rains very hard, I get under the hedges till it is over.
Mr. L. What do you do when 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; I work on, and never think of it.
Mr. L. Are you not dry sometimes this hot weather?
Boy. Yes, but there is water enough.
Mr. L. Why, my little fellow, you are quite a philosopher!
