He +had a hammer and nails, and some small pieces of board. He was trying to +make a box. He hammered and hammered, and presently he dropped his work +down and said, fretfully,</p> + +<p>"O dear me!"</p> + +<p>"What is the matter, Rollo?" said Jonas,—for it happened that Jonas was +going by just then, with a wheelbarrow.</p> + +<p>"I wish these little boards would not split so. I cannot make my box."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">8</a></span></p><p>"You drive the nails wrong; you put the wedge sides <i>with</i> the grain."</p> + +<p>"The wedge sides!" said Rollo; "what are the wedge sides,—and the +grain? I do not know what you mean."</p> + +<p>But Jonas went on, trundling his wheelbarrow; though he looked round and +told Rollo that he could not stop to explain it to him then.</p> + +<p>Rollo was discouraged about his box. He thought he would look and see +what Jonas was going to do. Jonas trundled the wheelbarrow along, until +he came opposite the barn-door, and there he put it down. He went into +the barn, and presently came out with an axe. Then he took the sides of +the wheelbarrow off, and placed them up against the barn. Then he laid +the axe down across the wheelbarrow, and went into the barn again. +Pretty soon he brought out an iron crowbar, and laid that down also in +the wheelbarrow, with the axe.</p> + +<p>Then Rollo called out,</p> + +<p>"Jonas, Jonas, where are you going?"</p> + +<p>"I am going down into the woods beyond the brook."</p> + +<p>"What are you going to do?"</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">9</a></span></p><p>"I am going to clear up some ground."</p> + +<p>"May I go with you?"</p> + +<p>"I should like it—but that is not for me to say."</p> + +<p>Rollo knew by this that he must ask his mother. He went in and asked +her, and she, in return, asked him if he had read his lesson that +morning. He said he had not; he had forgotten it.</p> + +<p>"Then," said his mother, "you must first go and read a quarter of an +hour."</p> + +<p>Rollo was sadly disappointed, and also a little displeased. He turned +away, hung down his head, and began to cry. It is not strange that he +was disappointed, but it was very wrong for him to feel displeased, and +begin to cry.</p> + +<p>"Come here, my son," said his mother.</p> + +<p>Rollo came to his mother, and she said to him kindly,</p> + +<p>"You have done wrong now twice this morning; you have neglected your +duty of reading, and now you are out of humor with me because I require +you to attend to it. Now it is <i>my</i> duty not to yield to such feelings +as you have now, but to punish them. So I must say that, instead of a +quarter of an hour, you must wait <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">10</a></span><i>half</i> an hour, before you go out +with Jonas."</p> + +<p>Rollo stood silent a minute,—he perceived that he had done wrong, and +was sorry. He did not know how he could find Jonas in the woods, but he +did not say any thing about that then. He only asked his mother what he +must do for the half hour. She said he must read a quarter of an hour, +and the rest of the time he might do as he pleased.</p> + +<p>So Rollo took his book, and went out and sat down upon the platform, and +began to read aloud. When he had finished one page, which usually took a +quarter of an hour, he went in to ask his mother what time it was. She +looked at the clock, and told him he had been reading seventeen minutes.</p> + +<p>"Is seventeen minutes more than a quarter of an hour, or not so much?" +asked Rollo.</p> + +<p>"It is more;—<i>fifteen</i> minutes is a quarter of an hour. Now you may do +what you please till the other quarter has elapsed."</p> + +<p>Rollo thought he would go and read more. It is true he was tired; but +he <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">11</a></span>was sorry he had done wrong, and he thought that if he read more +than he was obliged to, his mother would see that he was penitent, and +that he acquiesced in his punishment.</p> + +<p>So he went on reading, and the rest of the half hour passed away very +quickly. In fact, his mother came out before he got up from his reading, +to tell him it was time for him to go. She said she was very glad he had +submitted pleasantly to his punishment, and she gave him something +wrapped up in a paper.</p> + +<p>"Keep this till you get a little tired of play, down there, and then sit +down on a log and open it."</p> + +<p>Rollo wondered what it was. He took it gladly, and began to go. But in a +minute he turned round and said,</p> + +<p>"But how shall I find Jonas?"</p> + +<p>"What is he doing?" said his mother.</p> + +<p>"He said he was going to clear up some land."</p> + +<p>"Then you will hear his axe. Go down to the edge of the woods and +listen, and when you hear him, call him. But you must not go into the +woods unless you hear him."</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">12</a></span></p> +<h4><a name="BRIDGE_BUILDING" id="BRIDGE_BUILDING"></a>BRIDGE BUILDING</h4> + + +<p>Rollo went on, down the green lane, till he came to the turn-stile, and +then went through into the field. He then followed a winding path until +he came to the edge of the trees, and there stopped to listen.</p> + +<p>He heard the brook gurgling along over the stones, and that was all at +first; but presently he began to hear the strokes of an axe. He called +out as loud as he could,</p> + +<p>"Jonas! Jonas!"</p> + +<p>But Jonas did not hear.</p> + +<p>Then he walked along the edge of the woods till he came nearer the place +where he heard the axe. He found here a little opening among the trees +and bushes, so that he could look in. He saw the brook, and over beyond +it, on the opposite bank, was Jonas, cutting down a small tree.</p> + +<p>So Rollo walked on until he came to the brook, and then asked Jonas how +he should get over. The brook was pretty wide and deep.</p> + +<p>Jonas said, if he would wait a few minutes, he would build him a +bridge.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">13</a></span></p><p>"<i>You</i> cannot build a bridge," said Rollo.</p> + +<p>"Wait a little and see."</p> + +<p>So Rollo sat down on a mossy bank, and Jonas, having cut down the small +tree, began to work on a larger one that stood near the bank.</p> + +<p>After he had cut a little while, Rollo asked him why he did not begin +the bridge.</p> + +<p>"I am beginning it," said he.</p> + +<p>Rollo laughed at this, but in a minute Jonas called to him to stand +back, away from the bank; and then, after a few strokes more, the top of +the tree began to bend slowly over, and then it fell faster and faster, +until it came down with a great crash, directly across the brook.</p> + +<p>"There!" said Jonas, "there is your bridge."</p> + +<p>Rollo looked at it with astonishment and pleasure.</p> + +<p>"Now," said Jonas, "I will come and help you over."</p> + +<p>"No," said Rollo, "I can come over myself. I can take hold of the +branches for a railing."</p> + +<p>So Rollo began to climb along the stem <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">14</a></span>of the tree, holding on +carefully by the branches. When he reached the middle of the stream, he +stopped to look down into the water.</p> + +<p>"This is a capital bridge of yours, Jonas," said he. "How beautiful the +water looks down here! O, I see a little fish! He is swimming along by a +great rock. Now he is standing perfectly still. O, Jonas, come and see +him."</p> + +<p>"No," said Jonas, "I must mind my work."</p> + +<p>After a little time, Rollo went carefully on over the bridge, and sat +down on the bank of the brook. But he did not have with him the parcel +his mother gave him. He had left it on the other side.</p> + +<p>After he had watched the fishes, and thrown pebble-stones into the brook +some time, he began to be tired, and he asked Jonas what he had better +do.</p> + +<p>"I think you had better build a wigwam."</p> + +<p>"A wigwam? What is a wigwam?" said Rollo.</p> + +<p>"It is a little house made of bushes such as the Indians live in."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">15</a></span></p><p>"O, I could not make a house," said Rollo.</p> + +<p>"I think you could if I should tell you how, and help you a little."</p> + +<p>"But you say <i>you</i> must mind your work."</p> + +<p>"Yes,—I can mind my work and tell you at the same time."</p> + +<p>Rollo thought he should like to build a wigwam very much. Jonas told him +the first thing to be done was to find a good place, where the ground +was level. Rollo looked at a good many places, but at last chose a +smooth spot under a great oak tree, which Jonas said he was not going to +cut down. It was near a beautiful turn in the brook, where the water was +very deep.</p> + +<p>Jonas told him that the first thing was to make a little stake, and +drive it down in the middle of his wigwam-ground. Then Rollo recollected +that he had left his hatchet over on the other side of the brook, +together with the parcel his mother gave him; and he was going over to +get them, when Jonas told him he would trim up the bridge a little, and +then he could go over more easily.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">16</a></span></p><p>So Jonas went upon the bridge, and began to cut away the branches that +were in the way, leaving enough on each side to take hold of, and to +keep Rollo from falling in. Rollo could then go back and forth easily. +He held on with one hand, and carried his hatchet in the other. Then he +went over again, and brought his parcel, and laid it down near the great +oak tree.</p> + +<p>Then he made a little stake, and drove it down in the middle of the +wigwam-ground. Then he asked Jonas what he must do next.</p> + +<p>"That is the centre of your wigwam; now you must strike a circle around +it."</p> + +<p>"What?" said Rollo.</p> + +<p>"Don't you know how to strike a circle?" said Jonas.</p> + +<p>Rollo said he did not, and then Jonas told him to do exactly as he +should say, and that would show him.</p> + +<p>"First," said Jonas, "have you got a string?"</p> + +<p>Rollo felt in his pockets in vain, but he recollected his little parcel, +which was tied with a piece of twine, and held it up to ask Jonas if +that would do. Jonas <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">17</a></span>said it would, and told him to take it off +carefully, and tie one end of it to his centre stake.</p> + +<p>And Rollo did so.</p> + +<p>"Now," said Jonas, "make another little sharp stake for the marker, and +tie the other end of the twine to that, near the sharp end."</p> + +<p>Rollo worked busily for some time, and then called out,</p> + +<p>"Jonas, it is done."</p> + +<p>All this time, Jonas was at work in the bushes, at a little distance. He +now came to Rollo's wigwam-ground, and took hold of the marker, and held +it off as far from the middle stake as it would go, and then began to +make a mark on the ground all around the middle stake. Now, as the +marker was tied to the middle stake by the string, the mark was equally +distant from the middle stake in every part, and that made it exactly +round. Then Jonas laid down the marker, and pulled out the middle stake; +and they looked down and saw that there was a round mark on the ground, +about as large as a cart-wheel.</p> + +<p>Then Jonas took the crowbar, and <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">18</a></span>made deep holes all around, in this +circle, so far apart that Rollo could just step from one to the other. +But Rollo could not understand how he could make a house so.</p> + +<p>"I will tell you," said Jonas. "You must now go and get some large +branches of trees, and trim off the twigs from the lower end, and stick +them down in these holes. I will show you how."</p> + +<p>So Jonas took a large bough, and trimmed the large end, and sharpened it +a little, and then he fixed it down in one of these holes, in such a +manner that the top of it bent over towards the middle of the circle; +then he went back to his work, leaving Rollo to go on with the wigwam.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h4><a name="A_VISITOR" id="A_VISITOR"></a>A VISITOR.</h4> + + +<p>Rollo put down two or three branches very well, and was very much +delighted at seeing it gradually begin to look like a house, when he +thought he heard a voice. He listened a moment, and heard some one at a +distance calling, "Rol—lo, Rol—lo."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">19</a></span></p><p>Rollo dropped his hatchet, and looked in the direction that the sound +came from, and called out as loud as he could, "What!"</p> + +<p>"Where—are—you?" was heard in reply.</p> + +<p>Rollo answered, "<i>Here</i>," and then immediately clambered along over the +bridge, and ran through the woods until he came out into the open field; +and there he saw a small boy, away off at a distance, just coming +through the turn-stile.</p> + +<p>It was his cousin James. It seems that James had come to play with him +that day, and Rollo's mother had directed him down towards the woods.</p> + +<p>James came running along towards Rollo, holding up something round and +bright, in each hand. They were half dollars.</p> + +<p>"Where did you get them?" said Rollo.</p> + +<p>"One is for you, and one is for me," said James. "Uncle George sent them +to us."</p> + +<p>"What a beautiful little eagle!" said Rollo, as he looked at one side of +his half dollar; "I wish I could get it off and keep it separate."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">20</a></span></p><p>"O no," said James, "that would spoil your half dollar."</p> + +<p>"Why, they would know it was a half dollar by the letters and the head +on the other side. What a pretty thin eagle! How do you suppose they +fasten it on so strong?"</p> + +<p>James said he thought he could get it off; so they went and sat down on +a smooth log, that was lying on the ground, and laid Rollo's half dollar +on the log. Then he took a pin, and tried to drive the point of it under +the eagle's head, with a small stone. But the eagle would not move. They +only made some little marks and scratches on the silver.</p> + +<p>"Never mind," said Rollo; "I will keep it as it is." So he took his half +dollar, and they walked along towards the brook.</p> + +<p>They showed their money to Jonas, and told him that they had tried to +get the eagle off. He smiled at this. The boys went back soon to the +wigwam, and James said he would help Rollo finish it. While they were at +work they put their money on a large flat stone, on the bank of the +brook. They fixed a great many <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">21</a></span>boughs into their wigwam, weaving them +in all around, and thus made a very pleasant little house, leaving a +place for a door in front. When they were tired, they went and opened +Rollo's little package, and found a fine luncheon in it of bread and +butter and pie; which they ate very happily together, sitting on little +hemlock branches in the wigwam.</p> + + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h4><a name="DIFFICULTY" id="DIFFICULTY"></a>DIFFICULTY.</h4> + + +<p>After their luncheon, the boys began to talk about the best place for a +window for the wigwam.</p> + +<p>"I think we will have it <i>this</i> side, towards the brook," said James, +"and then we can look out to the water."</p> + +<p>"No," said Rollo, "it will be better to have it <i>here</i>, towards where +Jonas is working, and then we can look out and see him."</p> + +<p>"No," said James, "that is not a good plan; I do not want to see Jonas."</p> + +<p>"And I do not want to see the water," replied Rollo. "It is <i>my</i> wigwam, +and I mean to have the window <i>here</i>."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">22</a></span></p><p>So saying, he went to the side towards Jonas, and began to take away a +bough. James came there too, and said angrily,</p> + +<p>"The wigwam is mine as much as it is yours, for I helped make it, and I +will not have a window here."</p> + +<p>So he took hold of the branch that Rollo had hold of. They both felt +guilty and condemned, but their angry feelings urged them on, and they +looked fiercely at each other, and pulled upon the branch.</p> + +<p>"Rollo," said James, "let go."</p> + +<p>"James," said Rollo, "I tell you, let my wigwam alone."</p> + +<p>"It is not your wigwam."</p> + +<p>"I tell you it is."</p> + +<p>Just then they heard a noise in the bushes. They looked around, and saw +Jonas coming towards them. They felt ashamed, and were silent, though +each kept hold of the branch.</p> + +<p>"Now, boys," said Jonas, "you have got into a foolish and wicked +quarrel. I have heard it all. Now you may do as you please—you may let +me settle it, or I will lead you home to your mother, and tell her about +it, and let her settle it."</p> + +<p>The boys looked ashamed, but said nothing.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">23</a></span></p><p>"If you conclude to let me settle it, you must do just as I say. But I +do not pretend that I have any right to decide such a case, unless you +consent. So I will take you home, if you prefer."</p> + +<p>The boys both preferred that he should settle it, and promised to do as +he should say.</p> + +<p>"Well, then," said he, "the first thing is for you, Rollo, to go over +the other side of the brook, and you, James, to stay here, and both to +sit down still, until you have had time to cool."</p> + +<p>The boys obeyed, and Jonas went back to his work.</p> + +<p>The boys sat still, feeling guilty and ashamed; but they were not +penitent. They ought to have been sorry for their fault, and become +good-natured and pleasant again. But instead of that, they were silent +and displeased, eyeing one another across the brook. Jonas waited some +time, and then came and called them both to him.</p> + +<p>"Now," says James, "I will tell you all about it, and you shall decide +who was to blame."</p> + +<p>"I heard it all, and I know which was <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">24</a></span>to blame; you, James, came here +to see Rollo, and found him building a wigwam. It was <i>his</i> wigwam, not +<i>yours</i>. He began it without you, and was going on without you, and when +you came, you had no right to assume any authority about it. You ought +to have let him do as he wished with his own wigwam. You were unjust."</p> + +<p>Here Rollo began to look pleased and triumphant, that Jonas had decided +in his favor.</p> + +<p>"But," continued Jonas, "you, Rollo, were playing here alone. Your +little cousin came to see you; and you were very glad to have him come. +He helped you build, and when he wanted to have the window in a +particular way, you ought to have let him. To quarrel with a visitor for +such a cause as that, was very ungentlemanly and unkind. So you see you +were both very much to blame."</p> + +<p>The boys looked guilty and ashamed, but they did not feel really +penitent. They were not cordially reconciled. Neither was willing to +give up.</p> + +<p>"But," said Rollo, "how shall we make the window?"</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">25</a></span></p><p>"I think you ought not to make any window, as you cannot agree about +it."</p> + +<p>They wanted to make a window now more than ever, for each wanted to have +his own way; but Jonas would not consent, and as they had agreed to +abide by his decision, they submitted. Jonas then returned to his work, +and the boys stood by the side of the brook, not knowing exactly what to +do. Jonas told them, when they went away, that he expected that they +would have another quarrel, as he perceived that their hearts were still +in a bad state.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h4><a name="HEARTS_WRONG" id="HEARTS_WRONG"></a>HEARTS WRONG.</h4> + + +<p>The boys sat down on the bank of the brook, and began to pick up little +stones and throw them into the water. They began soon to talk of the +window again.</p> + +<p>Rollo said, "Jonas thought you were most to blame, I know."</p> + +<p>"No, he did not," replied James. "He blamed you the most; he said you +were unjust."</p> + +<p>"I don't care," said Rollo. "You do not know how to build a wigwam. You +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">26</a></span>cannot reach high enough to make a window."</p> + +<p>"I <i>can</i> reach high," said James. "I can reach as high as that," said +he, stretching up his hand.</p> + +<p>"And I can reach as high as <i>that</i>," said Rollo, stretching up his hand +higher than James did; for he was a little taller.</p> + +<p>James was somewhat vexed to find that Rollo could reach higher than he +could, though it was very foolish to allow himself to be put out of +humor by such a thing. But boys, when they are ill-humored, and dispute, +are always unreasonable and foolish. James determined not to be outdone, +so he took up a stick, and reached it up in the air as high as he could, +and said,</p> + +<p>"I can reach up as high as <i>that</i>."</p> + +<p>Then Rollo took up a stone, and tossed it up into the air, saying,</p> + +<p>"And I can reach as high as that."</p> + +<p>Now, when boys throw stones into the air, they ought to consider where +they will come down; but, unfortunately, Rollo did not in this case, and +the stone fell directly upon James's head. It was, however a small +stone, and his cap prevented <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">27</a></span>it from hurting him much; but he was +already vexed and out of humor, and so he began to cry out aloud.</p> + +<p>Rollo was frightened a little, for he was afraid he had hurt his cousin +a good deal, and then he expected too that Jonas would come. But Jonas +took no notice of the crying, but went on with his work. Now, Jonas was +very kind and careful, and always came quick when there was any one +hurt. But this time, he knew by the tone of James's crying, that it was +vexation rather than pain that caused it.</p> + +<p>James, finding that his crying did no good, gradually became still; and +in a few minutes, as he happened to look round, his eye rested on the +stone where they had put their half dollars, and he saw that only one of +them was there.</p> + +<p>"O, Rollo," said he, "one of our half dollars is gone."</p> + +<p>They went to the stone, and, true enough, one was gone. They looked +around, but it was no where to be found. Boys that are out of humor with +one another, are never at a loss for subjects of dispute; and Rollo said +he believed James had taken it, and James charged it upon <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">28</a></span>Rollo. Then +there was a dispute who should have the one that was left. James knew it +was his; he said he remembered <i>exactly</i> how his looked; and Rollo knew +it was his, for the head and the stars were very bright on his, and they +were very bright on this. James, however, had the half dollar, and would +not give it up; and so Rollo went to Jonas, and told him that James had +got his half dollar.</p> + +<p>Jonas came, and heard the whole story from both of the boys. James said +he <i>knew</i> the one that was left was his, for he remembered exactly how +it looked, and he also remembered exactly the very spot on the stone +where he put it down.</p> + +<p>James did not mean to tell a lie, but he was a little angry and excited, +and when boys are in that state of mind, they are very apt to say they +know not what.</p> + +<p>Jonas looked at both sides of the half dollar very attentively.</p> + +<p>"Which half dollar was it," said he, "that you tried to get the eagle +off of?"</p> + +<p>"Mine," said Rollo; "let me see."</p> + +<p>Jonas held down the half dollar, and showed to Rollo and James the marks +and scratches made by the pin; proving <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">29</a></span>that this was Rollo's half +dollar. James looked ashamed and confounded; Jonas just waited to hear +what he would say.</p> + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h4><a name="HEARTS_RIGHT_AGAIN" id="HEARTS_RIGHT_AGAIN"></a>HEARTS RIGHT AGAIN.</h4> + + +<p>James stood still a minute, thinking, presently he said,</p> + +<p>"Well, Rollo, I suppose my half dollar is lost, but I am glad yours is +safe, at any rate."</p> + +<p>"I am sorry yours is lost," said Rollo, "but then I can give you half of +what I buy with mine."</p> + +<p>"Where did you put the half dollars?" said Jonas.</p> + +<p>"On that rock," said Rollo.</p> + +<p>They walked along towards the rock. It was by the edge of the water; +Jonas thought that as they had been dragging boughs of trees along near +the rock, some little branch might have reached over and brushed off one +of the pieces of money into the water. So he walked up to it and looked +over.</p> + +<p>In a minute or two, he pointed down, <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">30</a></span>and the boys looked and saw +something bright and glittering on the bottom.</p> + +<p>"Is that it?" said James.</p> + +<p>"I believe it is," said Jonas. Jonas then took off his jacket, rolled up +his shirt sleeve, lay down on the rock, and reached his arm down into +the water, but it was a little too deep. He could not reach it.</p> + +<p>"I cannot get it so," said he.</p> + +<p>"What shall we do?" said James. "How foolish I was to put it so near the +water!"</p> + +<p>"I think we shall contrive some way to get it," said Jonas.</p> + +<p>He then sat down on the rock and looked into the water. "We can go home +and get a long pair of tongs, and get it with them at any rate," said +he.</p> + +<p>"O, yes," said Rollo, "I will go and get them;" and he ran off towards +the bridge.</p> + +<p>"No," said Jonas, "stop; I will try one plan more."</p> + +<p>So he went and cut a long straight stem of a bush, and trimmed it up +smooth, and cut the largest end off exactly square. <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">31</a></span>Then he went to a +hemlock tree near, and took off some of the gum, which was very +"sticky." He pressed some of this with his knife on the end of the +stick. Then he reached it very carefully down, and pressed it hard +against the half dollar; it crowded the half dollar down into the sand, +out of sight.</p> + +<p>"There, you have lost it," said James.</p> + +<p>"I don't know," said Jonas; and he began slowly and carefully to draw it +up.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 324px;"> +<img src="images/fig030.png" width="324" height="295" alt="Getting the coin" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>When the end of the stick came up out of the sand, the boys saw, to +their great <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">32</a></span>delight, that the half dollar was sticking fast on. They +clapped their hands, and capered about on the stone, while Jonas gently +drew up the half dollar, and put it, all wet and dripping, into James's +hands.</p> + +<p>The boys thanked Jonas for getting up the money, and then they asked him +to keep both pieces for them until they went home. Then they began to +think of the wigwam again.</p> + +<p>"We will make the window as you want it, James," said Rollo; "I am +willing."</p> + +<p>"No," said James, "I was just going to say we would make it your way. I +rather think it would be better to make it towards the land."</p> + +<p>"Why can you not have two windows?" said Jonas.</p> + +<p>"So we can," said both of the boys; and they immediately went to work +collecting branches and weaving them in, leaving a space for a window +both sides. Their quarrelsome feelings were all gone, and they talked +very pleasantly at their work until it was time for them to go home to +dinner.</p> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Rollo in the Woods, by Jacob Abbott + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK ROLLO IN THE WOODS *** + +***** This file should be named 19195-h.htm or 19195-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/1/9/1/9/19195/ + +Produced by Barbara Tozier, Joseph R.

He +had a hammer and nails, and some small pieces of board. He was trying to +make a box. He hammered and hammered, and presently he dropped his work +down and said, fretfully, + +"O dear me!" + +"What is the matter, Rollo?" said Jonas,--for it happened that Jonas was +going by just then, with a wheelbarrow. + +"I wish these little boards would not split so. I cannot make my box." + +"You drive the nails wrong; you put the wedge sides _with_ the grain." + +"The wedge sides!" said Rollo; "what are the wedge sides,--and the +grain? I do not know what you mean." + +But Jonas went on, trundling his wheelbarrow; though he looked round and +told Rollo that he could not stop to explain it to him then. + +Rollo was discouraged about his box. He thought he would look and see +what Jonas was going to do. Jonas trundled the wheelbarrow along, until +he came opposite the barn-door, and there he put it down. He went into +the barn, and presently came out with an axe. Then he took the sides of +the wheelbarrow off, and placed them up against the barn. Then he laid +the axe down across the wheelbarrow, and went into the barn again. +Pretty soon he brought out an iron crowbar, and laid that down also in +the wheelbarrow, with the axe. + +Then Rollo called out, + +"Jonas, Jonas, where are you going?" + +"I am going down into the woods beyond the brook." + +"What are you going to do?" + +"I am going to clear up some ground." + +"May I go with you?" + +"I should like it--but that is not for me to say." + +Rollo knew by this that he must ask his mother. He went in and asked +her, and she, in return, asked him if he had read his lesson that +morning. He said he had not; he had forgotten it. + +"Then," said his mother, "you must first go and read a quarter of an +hour." + +Rollo was sadly disappointed, and also a little displeased. He turned +away, hung down his head, and began to cry. It is not strange that he +was disappointed, but it was very wrong for him to feel displeased, and +begin to cry. + +"Come here, my son," said his mother. + +Rollo came to his mother, and she said to him kindly, + +"You have done wrong now twice this morning; you have neglected your +duty of reading, and now you are out of humor with me because I require +you to attend to it. Now it is _my_ duty not to yield to such feelings +as you have now, but to punish them. So I must say that, instead of a +quarter of an hour, you must wait _half_ an hour, before you go out +with Jonas." + +Rollo stood silent a minute,--he perceived that he had done wrong, and +was sorry. He did not know how he could find Jonas in the woods, but he +did not say any thing about that then. He only asked his mother what he +must do for the half hour. She said he must read a quarter of an hour, +and the rest of the time he might do as he pleased. + +So Rollo took his book, and went out and sat down upon the platform, and +began to read aloud. When he had finished one page, which usually took a +quarter of an hour, he went in to ask his mother what time it was. She +looked at the clock, and told him he had been reading seventeen minutes. + +"Is seventeen minutes more than a quarter of an hour, or not so much?" +asked Rollo. + +"It is more;--_fifteen_ minutes is a quarter of an hour. Now you may do +what you please till the other quarter has elapsed." + +Rollo thought he would go and read more. It is true he was tired; but +he was sorry he had done wrong, and he thought that if he read more +than he was obliged to, his mother would see that he was penitent, and +that he acquiesced in his punishment. + +So he went on reading, and the rest of the half hour passed away very +quickly. In fact, his mother came out before he got up from his reading, +to tell him it was time for him to go. She said she was very glad he had +submitted pleasantly to his punishment, and she gave him something +wrapped up in a paper. + +"Keep this till you get a little tired of play, down there, and then sit +down on a log and open it." + +Rollo wondered what it was. He took it gladly, and began to go. But in a +minute he turned round and said, + +"But how shall I find Jonas?" + +"What is he doing?" said his mother. + +"He said he was going to clear up some land." + +"Then you will hear his axe. Go down to the edge of the woods and +listen, and when you hear him, call him. But you must not go into the +woods unless you hear him." + + + + +BRIDGE BUILDING + + +Rollo went on, down the green lane, till he came to the turn-stile, and +then went through into the field. He then followed a winding path until +he came to the edge of the trees, and there stopped to listen. + +He heard the brook gurgling along over the stones, and that was all at +first; but presently he began to hear the strokes of an axe. He called +out as loud as he could, + +"Jonas! Jonas!" + +But Jonas did not hear. + +Then he walked along the edge of the woods till he came nearer the place +where he heard the axe. He found here a little opening among the trees +and bushes, so that he could look in. He saw the brook, and over beyond +it, on the opposite bank, was Jonas, cutting down a small tree. + +So Rollo walked on until he came to the brook, and then asked Jonas how +he should get over. The brook was pretty wide and deep. + +Jonas said, if he would wait a few minutes, he would build him a +bridge. + +"_You_ cannot build a bridge," said Rollo. + +"Wait a little and see." + +So Rollo sat down on a mossy bank, and Jonas, having cut down the small +tree, began to work on a larger one that stood near the bank. + +After he had cut a little while, Rollo asked him why he did not begin +the bridge. + +"I am beginning it," said he. + +Rollo laughed at this, but in a minute Jonas called to him to stand +back, away from the bank; and then, after a few strokes more, the top of +the tree began to bend slowly over, and then it fell faster and faster, +until it came down with a great crash, directly across the brook. + +"There!" said Jonas, "there is your bridge." + +Rollo looked at it with astonishment and pleasure. + +"Now," said Jonas, "I will come and help you over." + +"No," said Rollo, "I can come over myself. I can take hold of the +branches for a railing." + +So Rollo began to climb along the stem of the tree, holding on +carefully by the branches. When he reached the middle of the stream, he +stopped to look down into the water. + +"This is a capital bridge of yours, Jonas," said he. "How beautiful the +water looks down here! O, I see a little fish! He is swimming along by a +great rock. Now he is standing perfectly still. O, Jonas, come and see +him." + +"No," said Jonas, "I must mind my work." + +After a little time, Rollo went carefully on over the bridge, and sat +down on the bank of the brook. But he did not have with him the parcel +his mother gave him. He had left it on the other side. + +After he had watched the fishes, and thrown pebble-stones into the brook +some time, he began to be tired, and he asked Jonas what he had better +do. + +"I think you had better build a wigwam." + +"A wigwam? What is a wigwam?" said Rollo. + +"It is a little house made of bushes such as the Indians live in." + +"O, I could not make a house," said Rollo. + +"I think you could if I should tell you how, and help you a little." + +"But you say _you_ must mind your work." + +"Yes,--I can mind my work and tell you at the same time." + +Rollo thought he should like to build a wigwam very much. Jonas told him +the first thing to be done was to find a good place, where the ground +was level. Rollo looked at a good many places, but at last chose a +smooth spot under a great oak tree, which Jonas said he was not going to +cut down. It was near a beautiful turn in the brook, where the water was +very deep. + +Jonas told him that the first thing was to make a little stake, and +drive it down in the middle of his wigwam-ground. Then Rollo recollected +that he had left his hatchet over on the other side of the brook, +together with the parcel his mother gave him; and he was going over to +get them, when Jonas told him he would trim up the bridge a little, and +then he could go over more easily. + +So Jonas went upon the bridge, and began to cut away the branches that +were in the way, leaving enough on each side to take hold of, and to +keep Rollo from falling in. Rollo could then go back and forth easily. +He held on with one hand, and carried his hatchet in the other. Then he +went over again, and brought his parcel, and laid it down near the great +oak tree. + +Then he made a little stake, and drove it down in the middle of the +wigwam-ground. Then he asked Jonas what he must do next. + +"That is the centre of your wigwam; now you must strike a circle around +it." + +"What?" said Rollo. + +"Don't you know how to strike a circle?" said Jonas. + +Rollo said he did not, and then Jonas told him to do exactly as he +should say, and that would show him. + +"First," said Jonas, "have you got a string?" + +Rollo felt in his pockets in vain, but he recollected his little parcel, +which was tied with a piece of twine, and held it up to ask Jonas if +that would do. Jonas said it would, and told him to take it off +carefully, and tie one end of it to his centre stake. + +And Rollo did so. + +"Now," said Jonas, "make another little sharp stake for the marker, and +tie the other end of the twine to that, near the sharp end." + +Rollo worked busily for some time, and then called out, + +"Jonas, it is done." + +All this time, Jonas was at work in the bushes, at a little distance. He +now came to Rollo's wigwam-ground, and took hold of the marker, and held +it off as far from the middle stake as it would go, and then began to +make a mark on the ground all around the middle stake. Now, as the +marker was tied to the middle stake by the string, the mark was equally +distant from the middle stake in every part, and that made it exactly +round. Then Jonas laid down the marker, and pulled out the middle stake; +and they looked down and saw that there was a round mark on the ground, +about as large as a cart-wheel. + +Then Jonas took the crowbar, and made deep holes all around, in this +circle, so far apart that Rollo could just step from one to the other. +But Rollo could not understand how he could make a house so. + +"I will tell you," said Jonas. "You must now go and get some large +branches of trees, and trim off the twigs from the lower end, and stick +them down in these holes. I will show you how." + +So Jonas took a large bough, and trimmed the large end, and sharpened it +a little, and then he fixed it down in one of these holes, in such a +manner that the top of it bent over towards the middle of the circle; +then he went back to his work, leaving Rollo to go on with the wigwam. + + + + +A VISITOR. + + +Rollo put down two or three branches very well, and was very much +delighted at seeing it gradually begin to look like a house, when he +thought he heard a voice. He listened a moment, and heard some one at a +distance calling, "Rol--lo, Rol--lo." + +Rollo dropped his hatchet, and looked in the direction that the sound +came from, and called out as loud as he could, "What!" + +"Where--are--you?" was heard in reply. + +Rollo answered, "_Here_," and then immediately clambered along over the +bridge, and ran through the woods until he came out into the open field; +and there he saw a small boy, away off at a distance, just coming +through the turn-stile. + +It was his cousin James. It seems that James had come to play with him +that day, and Rollo's mother had directed him down towards the woods. + +James came running along towards Rollo, holding up something round and +bright, in each hand. They were half dollars. + +"Where did you get them?" said Rollo. + +"One is for you, and one is for me," said James. "Uncle George sent them +to us." + +"What a beautiful little eagle!" said Rollo, as he looked at one side of +his half dollar; "I wish I could get it off and keep it separate." + +"O no," said James, "that would spoil your half dollar." + +"Why, they would know it was a half dollar by the letters and the head +on the other side. What a pretty thin eagle! How do you suppose they +fasten it on so strong?" + +James said he thought he could get it off; so they went and sat down on +a smooth log, that was lying on the ground, and laid Rollo's half dollar +on the log. Then he took a pin, and tried to drive the point of it under +the eagle's head, with a small stone. But the eagle would not move. They +only made some little marks and scratches on the silver. + +"Never mind," said Rollo; "I will keep it as it is." So he took his half +dollar, and they walked along towards the brook. + +They showed their money to Jonas, and told him that they had tried to +get the eagle off. He smiled at this. The boys went back soon to the +wigwam, and James said he would help Rollo finish it. While they were at +work they put their money on a large flat stone, on the bank of the +brook. They fixed a great many boughs into their wigwam, weaving them +in all around, and thus made a very pleasant little house, leaving a +place for a door in front. When they were tired, they went and opened +Rollo's little package, and found a fine luncheon in it of bread and +butter and pie; which they ate very happily together, sitting on little +hemlock branches in the wigwam. + + + + +DIFFICULTY. + + +After their luncheon, the boys began to talk about the best place for a +window for the wigwam. + +"I think we will have it _this_ side, towards the brook," said James, +"and then we can look out to the water." + +"No," said Rollo, "it will be better to have it _here_, towards where +Jonas is working, and then we can look out and see him." + +"No," said James, "that is not a good plan; I do not want to see Jonas." + +"And I do not want to see the water," replied Rollo. "It is _my_ wigwam, +and I mean to have the window _here_." + +So saying, he went to the side towards Jonas, and began to take away a +bough. James came there too, and said angrily, + +"The wigwam is mine as much as it is yours, for I helped make it, and I +will not have a window here." + +So he took hold of the branch that Rollo had hold of. They both felt +guilty and condemned, but their angry feelings urged them on, and they +looked fiercely at each other, and pulled upon the branch. + +"Rollo," said James, "let go." + +"James," said Rollo, "I tell you, let my wigwam alone." + +"It is not your wigwam." + +"I tell you it is." + +Just then they heard a noise in the bushes. They looked around, and saw +Jonas coming towards them. They felt ashamed, and were silent, though +each kept hold of the branch. + +"Now, boys," said Jonas, "you have got into a foolish and wicked +quarrel. I have heard it all. Now you may do as you please--you may let +me settle it, or I will lead you home to your mother, and tell her about +it, and let her settle it." + +The boys looked ashamed, but said nothing. + +"If you conclude to let me settle it, you must do just as I say. But I +do not pretend that I have any right to decide such a case, unless you +consent. So I will take you home, if you prefer." + +The boys both preferred that he should settle it, and promised to do as +he should say. + +"Well, then," said he, "the first thing is for you, Rollo, to go over +the other side of the brook, and you, James, to stay here, and both to +sit down still, until you have had time to cool." + +The boys obeyed, and Jonas went back to his work. + +The boys sat still, feeling guilty and ashamed; but they were not +penitent. They ought to have been sorry for their fault, and become +good-natured and pleasant again. But instead of that, they were silent +and displeased, eyeing one another across the brook. Jonas waited some +time, and then came and called them both to him. + +"Now," says James, "I will tell you all about it, and you shall decide +who was to blame." + +"I heard it all, and I know which was to blame; you, James, came here +to see Rollo, and found him building a wigwam. It was _his_ wigwam, not +_yours_. He began it without you, and was going on without you, and when +you came, you had no right to assume any authority about it. You ought +to have let him do as he wished with his own wigwam. You were unjust." + +Here Rollo began to look pleased and triumphant, that Jonas had decided +in his favor. + +"But," continued Jonas, "you, Rollo, were playing here alone. Your +little cousin came to see you; and you were very glad to have him come. +He helped you build, and when he wanted to have the window in a +particular way, you ought to have let him. To quarrel with a visitor for +such a cause as that, was very ungentlemanly and unkind. So you see you +were both very much to blame." + +The boys looked guilty and ashamed, but they did not feel really +penitent. They were not cordially reconciled. Neither was willing to +give up. + +"But," said Rollo, "how shall we make the window?" + +"I think you ought not to make any window, as you cannot agree about +it." + +They wanted to make a window now more than ever, for each wanted to have +his own way; but Jonas would not consent, and as they had agreed to +abide by his decision, they submitted. Jonas then returned to his work, +and the boys stood by the side of the brook, not knowing exactly what to +do. Jonas told them, when they went away, that he expected that they +would have another quarrel, as he perceived that their hearts were still +in a bad state. + + + + +HEARTS WRONG. + + +The boys sat down on the bank of the brook, and began to pick up little +stones and throw them into the water. They began soon to talk of the +window again. + +Rollo said, "Jonas thought you were most to blame, I know." + +"No, he did not," replied James. "He blamed you the most; he said you +were unjust." + +"I don't care," said Rollo. "You do not know how to build a wigwam. You +cannot reach high enough to make a window." + +"I _can_ reach high," said James. "I can reach as high as that," said +he, stretching up his hand. + +"And I can reach as high as _that_," said Rollo, stretching up his hand +higher than James did; for he was a little taller. + +James was somewhat vexed to find that Rollo could reach higher than he +could, though it was very foolish to allow himself to be put out of +humor by such a thing. But boys, when they are ill-humored, and dispute, +are always unreasonable and foolish. James determined not to be outdone, +so he took up a stick, and reached it up in the air as high as he could, +and said, + +"I can reach up as high as _that_." + +Then Rollo took up a stone, and tossed it up into the air, saying, + +"And I can reach as high as that." + +Now, when boys throw stones into the air, they ought to consider where +they will come down; but, unfortunately, Rollo did not in this case, and +the stone fell directly upon James's head. It was, however a small +stone, and his cap prevented it from hurting him much; but he was +already vexed and out of humor, and so he began to cry out aloud. + +Rollo was frightened a little, for he was afraid he had hurt his cousin +a good deal, and then he expected too that Jonas would come. But Jonas +took no notice of the crying, but went on with his work. Now, Jonas was +very kind and careful, and always came quick when there was any one +hurt. But this time, he knew by the tone of James's crying, that it was +vexation rather than pain that caused it. + +James, finding that his crying did no good, gradually became still; and +in a few minutes, as he happened to look round, his eye rested on the +stone where they had put their half dollars, and he saw that only one of +them was there. + +"O, Rollo," said he, "one of our half dollars is gone." + +They went to the stone, and, true enough, one was gone. They looked +around, but it was no where to be found. Boys that are out of humor with +one another, are never at a loss for subjects of dispute; and Rollo said +he believed James had taken it, and James charged it upon Rollo. Then +there was a dispute who should have the one that was left. James knew it +was his; he said he remembered _exactly_ how his looked; and Rollo knew +it was his, for the head and the stars were very bright on his, and they +were very bright on this. James, however, had the half dollar, and would +not give it up; and so Rollo went to Jonas, and told him that James had +got his half dollar. + +Jonas came, and heard the whole story from both of the boys. James said +he _knew_ the one that was left was his, for he remembered exactly how +it looked, and he also remembered exactly the very spot on the stone +where he put it down. + +James did not mean to tell a lie, but he was a little angry and excited, +and when boys are in that state of mind, they are very apt to say they +know not what. + +Jonas looked at both sides of the half dollar very attentively. + +"Which half dollar was it," said he, "that you tried to get the eagle +off of?" + +"Mine," said Rollo; "let me see." + +Jonas held down the half dollar, and showed to Rollo and James the marks +and scratches made by the pin; proving that this was Rollo's half +dollar. James looked ashamed and confounded; Jonas just waited to hear +what he would say. + + + + +HEARTS RIGHT AGAIN. + + +James stood still a minute, thinking, presently he said, + +"Well, Rollo, I suppose my half dollar is lost, but I am glad yours is +safe, at any rate." + +"I am sorry yours is lost," said Rollo, "but then I can give you half of +what I buy with mine." + +"Where did you put the half dollars?" said Jonas. + +"On that rock," said Rollo. + +They walked along towards the rock. It was by the edge of the water; +Jonas thought that as they had been dragging boughs of trees along near +the rock, some little branch might have reached over and brushed off one +of the pieces of money into the water. So he walked up to it and looked +over. + +In a minute or two, he pointed down, and the boys looked and saw +something bright and glittering on the bottom. + +"Is that it?" said James. + +"I believe it is," said Jonas. Jonas then took off his jacket, rolled up +his shirt sleeve, lay down on the rock, and reached his arm down into +the water, but it was a little too deep. He could not reach it. + +"I cannot get it so," said he. + +"What shall we do?" said James. "How foolish I was to put it so near the +water!" + +"I think we shall contrive some way to get it," said Jonas. + +He then sat down on the rock and looked into the water. "We can go home +and get a long pair of tongs, and get it with them at any rate," said +he. + +"O, yes," said Rollo, "I will go and get them;" and he ran off towards +the bridge. + +"No," said Jonas, "stop; I will try one plan more." + +So he went and cut a long straight stem of a bush, and trimmed it up +smooth, and cut the largest end off exactly square. Then he went to a +hemlock tree near, and took off some of the gum, which was very +"sticky." He pressed some of this with his knife on the end of the +stick. Then he reached it very carefully down, and pressed it hard +against the half dollar; it crowded the half dollar down into the sand, +out of sight. + +"There, you have lost it," said James. + +"I don't know," said Jonas; and he began slowly and carefully to draw it +up. + +[Illustration] + +When the end of the stick came up out of the sand, the boys saw, to +their great delight, that the half dollar was sticking fast on. They +clapped their hands, and capered about on the stone, while Jonas gently +drew up the half dollar, and put it, all wet and dripping, into James's +hands. + +The boys thanked Jonas for getting up the money, and then they asked him +to keep both pieces for them until they went home. Then they began to +think of the wigwam again. + +"We will make the window as you want it, James," said Rollo; "I am +willing." + +"No," said James, "I was just going to say we would make it your way. I +rather think it would be better to make it towards the land." + +"Why can you not have two windows?" said Jonas. + +"So we can," said both of the boys; and they immediately went to work +collecting branches and weaving them in, leaving a space for a window +both sides. Their quarrelsome feelings were all gone, and they talked +very pleasantly at their work until it was time for them to go home to +dinner. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Rollo in the Woods, by Jacob Abbott + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK ROLLO IN THE WOODS *** + +***** This file should be named 19195.txt or 19195.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/1/9/1/9/19195/ + +Produced by Barbara Tozier, Joseph R.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.

Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.
