He told Shallow not to cry; said he was sorry he had
lost his money, and that he would give him half of his, as soon as
they could get it changed at the shop.
So they walked along to the toy-shop.
Their mother said that each one might choose his own plaything; so
they began to look around on the counter and shelves.
After a while, Shallow began to laugh very loud and heartily at
something he found. It was an image of a grinning monkey. It looked
very droll indeed. Shallow asked Wise to come and see. Wise laughed
at it too, but said he should not want to buy it, as he thought he
should soon get tired of laughing at any thing, if it was ever so
droll.
Shallow was sure that he should never get tired of laughing at so
very droll a thing as the grinning monkey; and he decided to buy
it, if Wise would give him half of his money; and so Wise did.
Selfish found a rattle, a large, noisy rattle, and went to
springing it until they were all tired of hearing the noise.
