Forward now, young people, because I want to take off my overcoat," the uncle commanded.

"It is filled with heavy objects which might pull me to the ground." Shouting with joy, the five now pushed their uncle into the house; they had all secretly guessed what the heavy objects in his long pockets were.
When the uncle had reached the house, he insisted on taking off his coat alone in order to prevent the things from being hurt.

He chose the youngest two to-day.
