Section 63. TENDER, TRUSTY, AND TRUE. III.

Reading edition

Now⁠[1], just here I was trying to see what⁠[2] sort of boy David was when he grew⁠[3] bigger; and, when I shut my eyes, and so tried⁠[4] to see it all clearly, I heard a noise right⁠[5] under my study window. This was⁠[6] about⁠[7] four o’clock, Friday afternoon; the schools were out, and the children running home⁠[8]. I turned my head to see what was the matter⁠[9], and then (App. § 14) I saw what I want⁠[10] to tell you. About ten boys were standing together⁠[11]. All at once a big boy knocked⁠[12] a little boy⁠[13] down, and rolled him in the snow⁠[14]. The little boy got up⁠[15], and said: “What⁠[16] did you do that for?” Then⁠[17] the big boy again approached the little boy⁠[13], and I believe⁠[18] he would have knocked him down again⁠[19], had not the little boy⁠[13] walked sobbing away⁠[20] towards home.
