When the elf assured the two Babes that he would only be too pleased to help them, they immediately told him they were looking for the home of then Uncle. “Oh!” said the elf, “that is very simple! Go straight down that path, and turn to the left. You will find yourselves outside the gate of your Uncle's garden. “Oh, thank you,” cried the Babes. Sure enough, the path led to their Uncle’s garden. Pushing open the gate, they,went inside. It happened that their Uncle was in the garden—and wasn’t he surprised to see them, “Why!” he cried, “I sent the man for you. How did you manage to .get here alone?” “Please sir, we walked,” said Tom. “Oh!” grunted Uncle Ebenezer. “You’re here, anyway.”
