Later, however, she heard him weeping lustily in his bed. He was inarticulate with grief, but his brother explained that he was cryingabout Paddy. But, said the mother, I told him about it this morning, and he did not seem to mind! The brother explained, yes, but he thought you said Daddy.帕蒂 從前有一個小男孩，他得到了一條完全屬於他自己的小獵狗。他給小狗取名帕蒂，對它寵愛萬分。他要到鄉下一些親戚家去度假，可又不能帶上他的寵物，爲此他很傷心。 他不在家的時候，帕蒂在一次不幸的車禍中失去了年輕的生命。男孩的母親怕他回家時聽到這個消息太難過；因此她相當小心地把這個消息透露給他，而頗爲令人驚訝的是小夥子看起來並不怎麼在意。可是，後來她聽見他在牀上哭得死去活來。他傷心得說不出話來，但是他的哥哥解釋說他在爲帕蒂痛哭。 可是，這位母親說：我今天早晨告訴他了，他好像根本不在乎啊！ 他哥哥解釋說：是的，可他以爲你說的是爸爸。
