they imagine that father and mother
don't love them any more, and it
would be tile grandest thing in the
world to run away and hide from
them.
They think sometimes that every
place but home is beautiful, and that
the pennies which father couldn't
spare yesterday are to be found at
most homes growing thick on tall
bushes.

Now the missing son has been found
