His hat was of! and the sun poured down on his unprotected head. “Ityn’t you know the suu will injure your brain if you expose it in that manner?” said the good man. The laborer wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the clergyman. “Do you think I‘d be doin’ this all day ifI had any brains?” said he; and then he gave the handle another turn.
