' i am very much pleased with you , and if you go on as you have begun , we shall do very well , and i can teach you many useful things which people do n't generally know . for instance , look at my house ! it is built entirely of the seeds of all the pears i have eaten in my life . now , most people throw them away , and that only shows what a number of things are wasted for want of a little patience and ingenuity . ' but celandine did not find it possible to be interested in this and similar pieces of advice . and the old woman soon sent her to bed , for fear the night air might give her an appetite . she passed a sleepless night ; but in the morning the old dame remarked : ' i heard how well you slept . after such a night you can not want any breakfast ; so while i do my household tasks you had better stay in bed , since the more one sleeps the less one need eat ; and as it is market - day i will go to town and buy a pennyworth of bread for the week 's eating . '
