原文
"Oh, I like Paul lots better'n I did," said Davy, beginning to make
fearful inroads into his pudding. "Since I've got pretty good myself I
don't mind his being gooder so much. If I can keep on I'll catch up with
him some day, both in legs and goodness. 'Sides, Paul's real nice to
us second primer boys in school. He won't let the other big boys meddle
with us and he shows us lots of games."
