"I guess the pony'll be awful glad to get a drink," said Jan to her
brother. "I guess he will," he answered, as he walked along looking carefully where he put down his feet, for he did not want to stumble and spill the water in his hat. "Look out!" exclaimed Janet, as her brother came too close to her. "If you bump against me and make my arm jiggle you'll spill my hatful." "I'll be careful," said Teddy. They spilled some of the water, for their hats were not as good as pails in which to carry the pony's drink. But they managed to get to the cave with most of it. "You can give him the first drink," said Teddy to his sister. "I found him, and he's my pony, but you can give him the first drink." Janet felt that this was kind on Teddy's part, but still she did not quite like what he said about the pony. "Is he going to be _all_ yours?" she asked. "Well, didn't I find him?'' "Yes, but when I found a penny once and bought a lollypop, I gave you half of it." |
