Excerpt from Winnie and His Pets
There were no neighbors living near, and the village boys seldom came that way, only in autumn, when the white nuts were drop ping from the old hickories; and then a whole tr00p of noisy, rosy-cheeked lads would come every morning to search among the rustling leaves for the nuts which had fallen during the night.
Winnie, who was very bashful from having always lived almost alone, dared not go near them, but he would hide among the bushes or behind the fence, and watch them and listen to their happy voices and merry laughter.
Every morning Winnie would get up early and await the com ing of the boys; but when it stormed, and they did not come as usual, he would feel very rest less and unhappy.
