Then he swam back and climbed
up on the bank of his canal.
"Mr. Jay," said he, "I think our work is about finished."
"What!" cried Sammy, "Aren't you going to cut the rest of those
aspen-trees?"
"No," replied Paddy. "Enough is always enough, and I've got enough to
last me all winter. I want those trees for next year. Now I am fixed for
the winter. I think I'll take it easy for a while."
Sammy looked disappointed. You see he had just begun to learn that the
greatest pleasure in the world comes from doing things for other people.
For the first time since he could remember some one wanted him around
and it gave him such a good feeling down deep inside!
