“Very true,” said Hoppy Toad. “It’s too bad that someone couldn’t teach them right from wrong.”
“It isn’t much use to try and teach them; a person has got to have a bit of common sense more than anything else,” said Jenny.
“That is right,” said Hoppy Toad. “After all it is nearly all common sense; if people would only stop and think a while they would soon see where they were doing wrong.”
“True,” said Jenny. “That’s just what they don’t do; they don’t stop to think.”
“Well, I guess I will hop around on the shore a while if you’ll excuse me,” said Hoppy Toad. “You might tell me your name, though, before I go.”
“Jenny Wild Duck,” was the reply. “What is yours?”
“Hoppy Toad.”
“Well, good-bye and good luck,” said Jenny Wild Duck.
“Good-bye,” said Hoppy Toad, “keep your wits about you.”
