and drive him home!"
"How do you know where he lives?" said Helen Graham. "Oh, I guess I can find out," replied Jimmie, though he was wondering how to find the answer to that question. "Do you know how to drive a horse?" asked Sunny Boy. "Well I never did, but I think I could," said Jimmie, who was a good-natured boy and quite ready to try any kind of new experiment. "You know how, don't you, Sunny Boy?" said Perry Phelps. "You went to see your grandfather in the country, didn't you? And he has horses and things. You drive us home." "No," said Sunny Boy, "I don't know how to drive a horse like this. Wait a minute, and I'll think." The other children waited for him to think. Though he was the youngest in his class, they had found out that Sunny Boy was often wiser than they were and that he could be trusted to find a way to do things. Miss Davis said that Sunny Boy was her "right-hand man." "My daddy says," announced Sunny Boy, after he had thought a minute, "that horses can go home all by themselves, so I guess this one can. But if we all got into the wagon, the girls would cry and be afraid he would run away." "We wouldn't, either!" said Jessie Smiley crossly. |
