Bolly Finds A Way
After leaving his unusual hat, clean and bright, on the limb of a tree, Bolly sought a way that was not away.
He came to a town, or was it a village? it wasn’t a city — and a young lady greeted him, saying, “Du bist sehr hübsch.” These things happen. So he got a job, a plain speaking job, with a shoemaker. Simply that. And he got all new clothes, a bed to sleep in, regular meals, a shave and a haircut —
and a soapy bath just there for the asking, all sorts of things. Like money.
Did he miss sleeping up in trees, or under bushes? no, that’s what dreams are for.
Did he greet the polite young lady with a dignified and courteous reply when they met again?
Returning her complement, with a slight nod, having no hat to tip, “Du bist sehr hübsch.”
Natürlich hat er es getan. (Of course he did.)
