"If it were alive, wouldn't it trot, and prance, and eat oats?" inquired the Pumpkinhead. "It would trot and prance, perhaps; but it wouldn't eat oats," replied the boy, laughing at the idea. "And of course it can't ever be alive, because it is made of wood." IF IT WERE ALIVE WOULDN'T IT TROT AND PRANCE AND EAT OATS INQUIRED THE PUMPKINHEAD IT WOULD TROT AND PRANCE PERHAPS BUT IT WOULDN'T EAT OATS REPLIED THE BOY LAUGHING AT THE IDEA AND OF COURSE IT CAN'T EVER BE ALIVE BECAUSE IT IS MADE OF WOOD
on its back.” “I understand,” said Jack, cheerfully “That’s the kind of horse you are now sitting on.” “No, it isn’t,” answered Tip, promptly. “Why not? That one has four legs, and a head, and a tail.” Tip looked at the saw-horse more carefully, and found that the Pumpkinhead was right. The body had been formed from a tree-trunk, and a branch had been left sticking up at one end that looked very much like a tail. In the other end were two big knots that resembled eyes, and a place had been chopped away that might easily be mistaken for the horse’s mouth. As for the legs, they were four straight limbs cut from trees and stuck fast into the body, being spread wide apart so that the saw-horse would stand firmly when a log was laid across it to be sawed. “This thing resembles a real horse more than I imagined,” said Tip, trying to explain. “But a real horse is alive, and trots and prances and eats oats, while this is nothing more than a dead horse, made of wood, and used to saw logs upon.” ND A HEAD AND A TAIL AND PEOPLE RIGHT UPON ITS BACK I UNDERSTAND SAID JACK CHEERFULLY THAT'S THE KIND OF HORSE YOU ARE NOW SITTING ON NO IT ISN'T ANSWERED TIP PROMPTLY WHY NOT THAT ONE HAS FOUR LEGS AND A HEAD AND A TAIL TIP LOOKED AT THE SAW HORSE MORE CAREFULLY AND SAW THAT THE PUMPKIN HEAD WAS RIGHT THE BODY HAD BEEN FORMED FROM A TREE TRUNK AND A BRANCH HAD BEEN LEFT STICKING UP AT ONE END THAT LOOKED VERY MUCH LIKE A TAIL IN THE OTHER END WERE TWO BIG KNOTS THAT RESEMBLED EYES AND A PLACE THAT IT HAD CHOPPED AWAY THAT MIGHT EASILY BE MISTAKEN FOR THE HORSE'S MOUTH AS FOR THE LEGS THEY WERE FOUR STRAIGHT LIMBS CUT FROM TREES AND STUCK FAST INTO THE BODY BEING SPREAD WIDE APART SO THAT THE SAW HORSE WOULD STAND FIRMLY WHEN A LOG WAS LAID ACROSS IT TO BE SAWED THIS THING RESEMBLES A REAL HORSE MORE THAN I IMAGINED SAID TIP TRYING TO EXPLAIN BUT A REAL HORSE IS ALIVE AND TROTS AND PRANCES AND EATS OATS WHILE THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A DEAD HORSE MADE OF WOOD AND USED TO SAW LOGS UPON
