Excerpt from Friends and HelpersOne morning Rover was very hungry indeed. He had been going from place to place with his master, and now it was two long days since he had eaten a good dinner. His master was a poor tinker who traveled about the country and never stayed long in one place. Rover would have liked this if his master had been kind to him, but the dog was used only to blows and kicks.Rover was a rough, shaggy dog, and his tail curled down under him in a way that showed he had been ill-treated. But he had good, faithful, brown eyes, and the drooping tail was always ready to wag at a kind word.The tinker's breakfast was on the table. How good it smelt! Rover looked at it with longing eyes.Please give me a bit, master, said Rover. I am so hungry!The tinker did not seem to hear. At last he said roughly: Be still, Rover!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
