Gugutse's Hat [antikvár]

GUGUTSE'S HAT Gugutse's father once made him a floppy hat. "But, Papa," said Gugutse, "it falls over my eyes." "Lift it up then," said his father. "That'll keep you busy all winter." "So that's it," thought Gugutse. "He thinks I've nothing better to do. Well, I'll show him." Gugutse was up first next morning, tiptoed into the yard and fed the sheep. When his father appeared, Gugutse was riding on the back of a ram. "Good morning, Gugutse," he called. "Hello, Papa," the little boy said, waving his hand (as if to say "you can take the feed back—I've fed the sheep already"). From then on, Gugutse began to look after the sheep himself. The days grew colder. Each footstep in the snow creaked like treading on violin strings.
