Punishment.

Firm Mother (to boy)—“Didn’t I tell yon that I’d whip you if you played in that water again, say?” Boy—“Yessum.* Firm Mother—“ Then why did you do it ?” Boy—“ Because I didn’t believe you. ” Firm Mother—“ Never mind, you shan’t go down town with me when I go; see if you do.” Shortly afterward the firm mother and the boy go down town together.— Arkansaw Traveler.
