"I saw him," said Tom, the hired man. "He went over that way," and he
pointed across the brook.
"Do you mean over to Strawberry Hill?" asked Russ, for so they had come to
call the place where the wild red berries grew.
"Well, yes, I s'pose you might say towards Strawberry Hill," replied Tom.
Across the brook hurried Russ, and, a little way ahead of him, he saw his
brother.
"Hi, Laddie!" he called. "Wait for me! Where are you going?"
Laddie waited, and Russ soon caught up to him. But Laddie did not at once
answer his older brother's question. So Russ asked again:
"Where are you going?" Then, before Laddie had a chance to say anything,
Russ went on: "I know! You're going to pick wild strawberries, and put

Together the two little boys kept on over the meadow until they came to
the field where the sheep were grazing. There were quite a number of them.
"What'll we do if the old ram runs at us?" asked Russ, as he and Laddie
crawled under the fence.
"He won't run at us," said the smaller boy, who seemed to have thought it
all out. "We haven't got anything red on, and he only runs at you if you
have red on. Anyhow, if he does, we can give him some sugar and that will
make him like us."
"Yes, I guess it will," agreed Russ.
With Laddie holding the bag of sweet stuff, the two boys walked toward
the sheep. They were eating grass, but soon some of the woolly creatures
