He sat down on the doorstep and gave the old man half of his supply of food. He was interested to see the avidity with which he ate it.

Is it good?” he asked.

I haven’t eaten anything so good for a long time. I couldn’t afford to buy food.”

“I am sorry for you.”

“You haven’t got any left for breakfast.”

“Oh, somebody will give me breakfast,” said Tony.

Do you travel round all the time?”

“Yes; but I hope to get a chance to go to work soon. I’d rather live in one place.”

“You might live with me, if I were not so poor.”
