Premise: Sometimes he looked longingly at his mother , and sometimes he looked longingly at the window .<br>Certainly it would be pleasant to be her boy again , but on the other hand , what times those had been in the Gardens !<br>Was he so sure that he should enjoy wearing clothes again ?<br>He popped off the bed and opened some drawers to have a look at his old garments .<br>They were still there , but he could not remember how you put them on .<br>The socks , for instance , were they worn on the hands or on the feet ?<br>He was about to try one of them on his hand , when he had a great adventure .
Hypothesis: The socks are covered with dirt.
