“Hallo, David!” shouted Joe.
“What do you want?” asked David.
“Do you mean to say I have got any of the money?”
“I didn’t say so.”
“’Cause if you do, I’ll whip you.”
“I didn’t say so.”
“Yes, you did.”
David did not answer him again, but ran with all his might to the house. When he got to the door, he could not control his feelings any longer, and burst into tears.
“What is the matter, David?” asked John Gray, the farmer’s son, as he gave him a paper.
“I lost my money in the field,” sobbed David.
