So everybody knew him. 1t was almost a
daily trick to lay penny on his nose and
bid him, at signal, toss it up in the air

in mouth, he would trot off to the bakers
for penny roll. One morning our hero
went to the shop but no baker was there.
So he waited and waited and waited. Still
no baker came, By and by he lost his
patience, for dogs are mortal like the rest

he looked around. Then, spying scone
