A little farther on Ma cries: “He signaled for a turn!”

And Pa says: “Did he?” in a tone that's hot enough to burn.

“Oh, there's a boy on roller skates!” cries Ma. “Now do go slow.

I'm sure he does n't see our car.” And Pa says: “I dunno,

I think I do n't need glasses yet, but really it may be

That I am blind and cannot see what's right in front of me.”
