the middle Of the day they rested,
and then went away leaving Their
hats at the place where they had

and for some time the dog seemed
puzzled what to do. At last with
its paw it pushed one hat inside the
other, and then, taking up the {, o
trotted off TO its master. On reach

wagged its tail evidently expecting
to be praised for its cleverness.
