In a little while, over he was knocked again, and as he fell one of the children stepped on his hand and hurt him so that he screamed with pain.

Mrs.Burke caught him in her arms; but when he found that she was going to take him in the house he stopped crying and struggled to get down.

He was willing to take the knocks and falls.

The pleasure of this free life among children was more to him than any of the suffering it brought.
On the next day Mrs.Burke had to go out again.

Another neighbor promised to look after Andy.
