He went to find violets and wild flowers in the woods. After a little he came down; but he would not let me look in his pail. He would not tell me how many flowers were in it. "Who will
buy my wild roses?" he said. "Who will buy my I came down the street to sell my flowers. But now I must say they do not sell very well." w went well
