The shaggy man waited. He had an oat–straw in his mouth, which he chewed slowly as if it tasted good; but it didn't. There was an apple–tree beside the house, and some apples had fallen to the ground. The shaggy man thought they would taste better than the oat–straw, so he walked over to get some. A little black dog with bright brown eyes dashed out of the farm–house and ran madly toward the shaggy man, who had already picked up three apples and put them in one of the big wide pockets of his shaggy coat. The little dog barked, and made a dive for the shaggy man's leg; but he grabbed the dog by the neck and put it in his big pocket along with the apples. He took more apples, afterward, for many were on the ground; and each one that he tossed into his pocket hit the little dog somewhere upon the head or back, and made him growl.
