“He called and called to the boy and the boy came running in.” Dibs brought the boy doll back beside the father. “But the boy ran in so fast he bumped into the table and upset the lamp. The father cried out that the boy was stupid. A stupid, silly, careless boy! ‘Why did you do that?’ he demanded, but the boy wouldn’t answer him. The father was very angry and told the boy to go to his room. He said he was a stupid, silly child and he was ashamed of him.”
