It's a shame she can't walk, but taking care of
her must be easy!"
"Oh she takes care of herself," said Mickey. "You see she is alone all day
from six 'til six; she must take care of herself, so she studies her
lesson, and plays with her doll--I mean her Precious Child."
"Too bad!" said Peter. "By jacks that's a sin! Did you happen to speak to
Ma about her?"
"We did talk a little," admitted Mickey. "She was telling me of the
visitor boy who didn't come, and your son who doesn't think he'll want to
stay; so we got to talking. She said just what you did about wanting to
see how a city child who hadn't ever seen a chicken, or a cow, or horse
would act----"
"Good Lord!" cried Peter. "_Is_ there a child in Multiopolis who hasn't
ever seen a little chicken, or a calf?"
"Hundreds of them!" said Mickey. "I've scarcely seen a cow myself. I've
seen hens and little chickens in shop windows at Easter time----"
"But not in the orchard in June?" queried Peter.
"No, 'not in the orchard in June!'" said Mickey.
