"You're welcome," said David.
Then the foreman shook David's hand.
"Good-bye, Davie," he said. "Don't forget us."
"Good-bye," said David.
Then the foreman climbed up to the seat of the wagon. The other men were up there already.
And all the men waved their hands, and the horse started.
David stood and watched them until they turned the corner.
Then he picked up his shovel and his hoe and threw them into his cart, and began to walk home, dragging his cart, with his shovel and his hoe rattling in the bottom of it.
And his cat came running, and she ran ahead, with her bushy tail sticking straight up in the air.
And that's all of this story.
