When he wants to play, his mother remembers duties he neglected that morning . . . when he sets out to build a wigwam with cousin James, the two boys end up in an angry quarrel. And then when a pair of shiny half-dollars come the boys' ways -- one disappears! Yet Rollo sees his way through to some real pleasure in the woods, thanks in part to the helpful farm worker, Jonas. Rollo even learns how to catch a squirrel . . . as well as how to lose it! |
