CAPER, THE GOAT. 



One summer, in the country, Eddy and John found a man who 

 had a goat to sell. The man asked three dollars for him. Eddy 

 and John and a boy who played with 

 them had each a dollar, and 

 they bought the goat. 



The goat was a fine play- 

 mate. The boys named him 

 Caper, and they liad great 

 fun with him. But, when it

" Well," said Eddy, " maybe papa will give ns a dollar, and we
