Mother. Yes, it is; and the dew is off.

Boy. I see the sun. Is it fit for me to go out?

Mother. Now it is; but by ten it may be hot. So get up now.

Boy. May I go to-day, and buy my top?

Mother. Yes, you may.

Boy. A peg-top? Sam has a peg-top. He has let me use his. One day he did.

I met Tom one day, and he had a top so big!

I can hop as far as Tom can.

Tom has a bat too! and Tom is but of my age.
