One day, when Frank and John were going to school, they saw an old man
with a flute.

"Will you please play a tune for us, sir?" said Frank.

"Yes, boys, I will play for you. Are you fond of music?" "Yes, sir, we
like music. You used to play your flute when I went with mamma' to see
you."

"O you are the little boy who had your flute with you, are you?"

"Yes, sir, and I have learned to play a little on it."

"Well, I am glad to see you again, my boy.

"I will play you a tune, and then you must play for me."

"But my flute is at home, sir."

"O well, you can use mine. It is a good one."

The old man played a tune for the boys, and then gave the flute to Frank
to play.
