When Bobble Retired.

Bobbie had been allowed to sit up a little while after supper 0.1 condition that he keep quiet. But Bobbie had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask, and the sum of them sent him to bed. “Papa,” he began, innocently enough, “can God do everything?" “Yes, my son, surely.” “Can he make a two-foot rule with only one end to it?” “Don’t ask such foolish questions, sonnle! ” Brief silence; then: “Pa, is it true that a camel can go ten days without water?" “Yes,” a little wearily. “Then, pa, how many days could he go if he had water?" And that, of course, was Bobbie’s cue to go swiftly upstairs.
