This fretted him, and cooled his ardor somewhat; he walked back rather slowly, and began again to fill his basket. A New Plan. Before he had got many chips in it, however, he happened to think that the wheelbarrow would be a better thing to get them in with.

The Queen then suggested that he be banished for a certain time, say a year. In that case he could not come back, and would be at full liberty to visit foreign kingdoms, and find out how they were governed. This plan pleased the King.
