Of course that was fair, if she made both give up the same number.

So I went to the barn.
The lane was muddy, and as I had been sick, I wore my rubbers that spring.

I thought to keep out of the deep mud, where horses and cattle trampled, I'd go up the front embankment, and enter the little door.
My feet made no sound, and it so happened that the door didn't either, and as I started to open it.

I saw Leon disappearing down the stairway, with a big sack on his back.

I thought it was corn for the horses, and followed him, but he went to the cow stable door and started toward the lane, and then I thought it was for the pigs, so I called Laddie and told him about the eggs.
