Brother Hastings mixed him up by saying "worms of the dust" when he should have said worms of the leaves.
Those that go into little round cases in earth or spin cocoons on trees always live on leaves, and many of them rear the head, having large horns, and wave it in a manner far from humble.

So father and Brother Hastings were both partly right, and partly wrong.
When the prayer came to a close, where every one always said "Amen," I punched Bobby and whispered, "Crow, Bobby, crow!" and he stood up and brought it out strong, like he always did when I told him.

I had to stop the service to feed him a little wheat, to pay him for crowing; but as no one was there except us, that didn't matter.
