Farmer Browns Boy was still
thinking Of the lightning when he
stepped out into the path. Just in

was little round hole. He stopped to
look at it.
That is queer" said he. "I'm sure
that hole wasn't here. the last time
was along here. l wonder who made
it,
He stopped over to look at it more
closely. Now how could a hole be
dug and there be no sand around?"
he demanded of no one in particular.
There isn't a grain of sand around
this hole, not a gian.' A sudden idea
popped into his head: II wonder.~
said he. looking over at the maple
tree which the lightning had struck,
''if that lightning made this little hole
too. 1t does funny things and I
wouldn't wonder If 1t did this. Any
way we can't have a hole in the mid
die of the path. Water would run
in and wash it bigger and there would
soon be a bad place in the path. I'll
fill 1t up. Yes. sir. lightning does do
funny things"
He went over to the place where the
lightning had torn a hole in the
ground and partly buried two or three
stones from the old wall and filled
his cupped hands with sand and small
pebbles. These he took back and put
in the little hole in the path. He had
to make a number of trips before the
hole was filled. Then he stamped
it all down firmly and went on his
way whistling merrily.
