He found bis mother alone at the door of the house. She iiiVited him '0 et some eel-t that were stewing at II)e fit, She then went to the well, which was at some distance, hut did nntfllck the door and take the key with her, tint wishing to hurt the feelings of her sou by art appearance ol ■mistrust.
