"I can let you have one just as fast," said the stable-keeper. "By the way, how would you like a real good grasshopper?" "Too hot a day for the saddle," said Ting-a-ling; "and now please harness up, for I'm in a dreadful hurry." "Yes, sir, right away. But I don't know exactly what wagon to give you.
