"Will you? Well then, since I have no money, I will give you this cow for them."

　　"You may have them," answered the piper, "I always like to oblige a friend."

　　Mr. Vinegar took the bagpipes and the piper led the cow away.

　　"Now we will have some music," said Mr. Vinegar, but try as hard as he might, he could not play a tune. He could get nothing out of the bagpipes but "squeak, squeak". The children instead of giving him pennies laughed at him.

　　The day was chilly and in trying to play the pipes, his fingers grew very cold. He wished he had kept the cow.

　　He just started for home when he met a man who had warm gloves on his hands. "Oh, if I only had those pretty gloves," he said, "I would be the happiest man in the world."

　　"How much will you give for them?" asked the man.

　　"Oh, I have no money, but I will give you these bagpipes," answered Mr. Vinegar.

　　"Well," said the man, "you may have them for I always like to oblige a friend."

　　Mr. Vinegar gave him the bagpipes and drew the gloves on over his half frozen fingers. "How lucky I am," he said as he trudged（跋涉） homeward. His hands were soon quite warm, but the road was rough and the walking hard. He was very tired when he came to the foot of the steep hill. "How shall I ever get to the top?" he said. Just then he met a man who was walking the other way. He had a stick in his hand which he used as a cane to help him along.
