" Rollo and Lucy would both have been ashamed of their contention, were it not that the pear looked so very rich and tempting, that they were both very eager to have it. " said Rollo's mother, as soon as they stood before her. "Why, Lucy wants the pear," said Rollo, "and you gave them both to me, and said I might do as I pleased with them. " said the lady.
