"How glad Jenny must have been," said Joyce, "that she had treated Fanny
kindly! Because Fanny brought the doctor, the doctor saved her mother's
life."
"And besides," added Grandma softly, "people are always glad when they
know they have done right."

"What are you going to do with that rope?" asked Don, as Grandpa came
from the shed with a coil of rope on his arm.
"Come with me, and you will find out," answered Grandpa. "And you may
call Joyce, too, if you wish."
Don ran to the house to get Joyce, and soon the two came back together.
They followed Grandpa down the lane toward the pasture where he kept his
pigs. The children kept asking him what he intended to do, but he would
only answer, "Wait and see."
Grandpa had a good many grown hogs, and ten little pigs. He opened the
pasture gate and called to them, and they all came out into the lane,
grunting and squealing. Then he coaxed them toward the pig-pen that he
had been building. He closed the gate, and turning to the children said,
"Now if you watch me, you will see what I intend to do with the rope."
When the children were both safe on the other side of the fence, Grandpa
climbed into the pig-pen and coiled the rope a number of times in his
hands.
