"Well, he certainly is the finest toy in my little shop, but what good does that do if I can't sell him? His wool is very soft, and he looks so natural that I can almost hear him bark. But, oh dear! if I don't sell him-or sell some of the toys soon-I can't pay my rent and I'll be turned out! Oh, if my boy Jimmie would only come home from the sea with the gold he said he'd bring to me!"
