HOW THEY RAN AWAY

Two little boys sat on the fence whittling1 arrows one fine day. Said one little boy to the other little boy,—
“Let’s do something jolly.”
“All right. What will we do?”
“Run off to the woods and be hunters.”
“What can we hunt?”
“Bears and foxes.”
“Mullin says there ain’t any round here.”
“Haven’t got any guns and trap.”
“We’ve got our bows, and I found an old trap behind the barn.”
“What will we eat?”
“Here’s our lunch; and when that’s gone we can roast the squirrels and cook the fish on a stick. I know how.”
“Where will you get the fire?”
“Got matches in my pocket.”
“I’ve got a lot of things we could use. Let’s see.”
And as if satisfied at last, cautious Billy displayed his treasures, while bold Tommy did the same.
Besides the two knives there were strings3, nails, matches, a piece of putty, fish-hooks, and two very dirty handkerchiefs.
“There, sir, that’s a first-rate fit-out for hunters; and with the jolly basket of lunch Mrs. Mullin gave us, we can get on tip-top for two or three days,” said Tommy, eager to be off.
“Where shall we sleep?” asked Billy, who liked to be comfortable both night and day.
“Oh, up in trees or on beds of leaves, like the fellows in our books. If you are afraid, stay at home; I’m going to have no end of a good time.” And Tommy crammed4 the things back into his pockets as if there were no time to lose.
“Pooh! I ain’t afraid. Come on!” And jumping down Billy caught up his rod, rather ashamed of his many questions.
