It hurt his feelings to have his nose treated in this rude way. After a long time one of the bears got tired. He went away. After awhile the other went away too. Kit Carson staid in the tree a long time. Then he came down. The first thing he did was to get his gun. He loaded it. But the bears did not come back. They were too busy rubbing noses. Hor-ace Gree-ley was the son of a poor farmer.
They did not like to make the little fellow cry. He was the pet of all the school. People in that day were fond of spelling. They used to hold meetings at night to spell. They called these "spelling schools." At a spelling school two captains were picked out. These chose their spellers. Then they tried to see which side could beat the other at spelling. Little Hor-ace was always chosen first.
He would not move until some-body stumbled over him or called him. People had not found out how to burn ker-o-sene oil in lamps then. They used candles. But poor people like the Gree-leys could not afford to burn many candles. Hor-ace gathered pine knots to read by at night. He would light a pine knot Then he would throw it on top of the large log at the back of the fire.
He was always fond of books. He learned to read almost as soon as he could talk. He could read easy books when he was three years old. When he was four, he could read any book that he could get. He went to an old-fashioned school. Twice a day all the children stood up to spell. They were in two classes. Little Hor-ace was in the class with the grown-up young people.
