[Jonas on a Farm in Winter by Jacob Abbott]@TWC D-Link bookJonas on a Farm in Winter CHAPTER X 8/10
When I found that the snow was deep, and my horse slumped in pretty bad, I left him by the side of the road, and walked on to see if I could see any thing of you.
I soon found your sleigh, run out of the path, and the horse tied under a tree over the brook.
So I knew that you couldn't be far off." "And you did not go any farther." "No," said Rollo; "I thought it would be better for me to stay by the sleigh, and wait for you." Jonas asked Rollo a great many questions about all the people at home--his father and mother, and his cousin Lucy; and he said that he was very glad indeed, that Rollo had come to see him. "Do you have a pretty good time upon the farm ?" said Rollo. "Yes," said Jonas, "very good indeed.
You would like to be here very much." "Are there any boys for me to play with ?" said Rollo. "Yes," said Jonas, "there is Oliver, though he don't play much.
He works nearly all the time.
