as they were setting the table for breakfast.

"Out to the hog house," replied Mrs. Arable.

"I don't see why he needs an ax,"
“我不明白，他干嗎要拿著把斧子去，”
continued Fern, who was only eight.

"Well," said her mother,

It's very small and weak,

and it will never amount to anything.

So your father has decided to do away with it."
