The animal never moved, and, finally accepting the inevitable, the youth settled down to passing the night in the tree. After some hours had passed, wearily enough to the lad, morning dawned, and the proprietor of the tree, coming from the house, asked how he came to be in the tree, to which the boy answered “That he took it to save himself from the dog who had chased him quite a distance.”
