The Saw Horse, not understanding the action, stepped backward and snapped the string easily; but it made no attempt to run away. "He's stronger than I thought," said the boy, "and rather obstinate, too." THE SAW HORSE NOT UNDERSTANDING THE ACTION STEPPED BACKWARD AND SNAPPED THE STRING EASILY BUT IT MADE NO ATTEMPT TO RUN AWAY HE'S STRONGER THAN I THOUGHT SAID THE BOY AND RATHER OBSTINATE TOO
nswered Tip, angrily. “Yes; but the horse has no ears,” said the smiling Pumpkinhead. “Sure enough!” exclaimed Tip, noting the fact for the first time. “How, then, am I going to stop him?” But at that instant the Saw-Horse stopped himself, having concluded it was impossible to see his own body. He saw Tip, however, and came close to the boy to observe him more fully. It was really comical to see the creature walk; for it moved the legs on its right side together, and those on its left side together, as a pacing horse does; and that made its body rock sidewise, like a cradle. Tip patted it upon the head, and said “Good boy! Good Boy!” in a coaxing tone; and the Saw-Horse pranced away to examine with its bulging eyes the form of Jack Pumpkinhead. “I must find a halter for him,” said Tip; and having made a search in his pocket he produced a roll of strong cord. Unwinding this, he approached the Saw-Horse and tied the cord around its neck, afterward fastening the other end to a large tree.  YOU HE REMARKED I SHOUT LOUD ENOUGH DON'T I ANSWERED TIP ANGRILY YES BUT THE HORSE HAS NO EARS SAID THE SMILING PUMPKINHEAD SURE ENOUGH EXCLAIMED TIP NOTING THE FACT FOR THE FIRST TIME HOW THEN AM I GOING TO STOP HIM AT THAT INSTANT THE SAW HORSE STOPPED HIMSELF HAVING CONCLUDED IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE HIS OWN BODY HE SAW TIP HOWEVER AND CAME CLOSE TO THE BOY TO OBSERVE HIM MORE FULLY IT WAS REALLY COMICAL TO SEE THE CREATURE WALK FOR IT MOVED THE LEGS ON ITS RIGHT SIDE TOGETHER AND THOSE ON ITS LEFT SIDE TOGETHER AS A PRANCING HORSE DOES AND THAT MADE ITS BODY ROCK SIDEWAYS LIKE A CRADLE TIP PATTED IT UPON ITS HEAD AND SAID GOOD BOY GOOD BOY IN A COAXING TONE AND THE SAW HORSE PRANCED AWAY TO EXAMINE WITH ITS BULGING EYES THE FORM OF JACK PUMPKINHEAD I MUST FIND A HALTER FOR HIM SAID TIP AND HAVING MADE A SEARCH IN HIS POCKET HE PRODUCED A ROLL OF STRONG CORD UNWINDING THIS HE APPROACHED THE SAW HORSE AND TIED THE CORD ROUND ITS NECK AFTERWARD FASTENING THE OTHER END TO A LARGE TREE
