LESSON 62 LITTLE TOBY

LITTLE TOBY

1. Toby was a sad little doggie.

He had run away from his home and could not find his way back.

He had no home and no one to be kind to him.

2. One day, in the street, he met an old dog, named Spot.

Spot had no home, so he and Toby became very good friends.

3. They shared any food they found. Some days it was hard to find food.

4. Toby saw Spot digging a hole one day.

What are you doing, Spot? he asked.

5. "I am going to hide this nice bone," said Spot.

Why? asked Toby.

6. "Well," said Spot, "we have had plenty of food to-day, but later on, if we are hungry and cannot find food, we can come back and dig up this bone. It will still be good to eat."

7. Toby sat with his head on one side and looked on, while Spot hid the bone.

8. "How wise you are, Spot!" said Toby.

I shall not forget to do that, whenever I have too much food for one day.
