One day his mother, who was almost discouraged with him, gave him a bolo and sent him to the forest, for she thought he could at least cut firewood. Juan walked leisurely along.

At last he came to a tree that seemed easy to cut, and then he drew his long knife and prepared to work.

| Aha! this tree seemed easy to cut. | |
