All the children in the block came out.
Some of them danced and clapped their hands while the hand-organ man played.
The organ man kept looking up at the windows.
“Here’s a nickel,” said a woman to her little boy. “Take it to the hand-organ man.”
The boy took the nickel to the organ-grinder.
He played another piece.
When this was played, Bobby said, “Please play another. I’ll bring you a penny.”
Bobby and Betty ran to the house and Mother gave each of them a penny.
Bobby gave his penny to the hand-organ man, and the man started to go.
“Play another piece,” said Betty. “I’ll give you a penny.”
