“Take him with you, dear,” said his wife.

“He doesn’t go to school today and I can’t look after him. It rained for three days and it’s dangerous for him to play by the river.”
Mr Hunt thought she was right and agreed. At noon they got to the town. The boy was thirsty and hungry. The man bought some ice-cream for him and then said, “Look after the bike here and I’ll go to buy some medicine for your mummy.”
