LITTLE SKULI. Oh no, not now. HADDA PADDA. Oh yes, your last ship was so well cut out, with great big masts. [Pats him.] You're a dear. INGOLF. Then you'll be allowed to come along with us to the country next summer. HADDA PADDA. And sit in front, on the Sheriff's horse, many, many times. LITTLE SKULI. Then will the Sheriff give me a sheep again? INGOLF. Yes, my little friend, father will give you a sheep, and I will give you one too; I'll give you one with pretty rounded horns. LITTLE SKULI. Does it butt? INGOLF. O, of course not, it eats bread from your hand. LITTLE SKULI. Then I'll saw its horns off, and give them to Sigga- -she has lots of horns she plays sheep with. [Laughter.] INGOLF. Well, are you going to make that ship? LITTLE SKULI. Are you the one who gets all Hadda Padda's ships? INGOLF. Well, I daresay I get most of them.--What makes you think |
