Papa always said I was bright as a button; so mama always called me Button-
Bright," he said.

"
"
"
What is your papa's name?"
Just Papa."
What else?"
Don't know."
Never mind," said the shaggy man, smiling. "We'll call the boy Button-Bright,
as his mama does. That name is as good as any, and better than some."
Dorothy watched the boy dig.

Where do you live?" she asked.
Don't know," was the reply.
How did you come here?"
Don't know," he said again.
Don't you know where you came from?"
No," said he.
Why, he must be lost," she said to the shaggy man. She turned to the boy
once more.

What are you going to do?" she inquired.
Dig," said he.
But you can't dig forever; and what are you going to do then?" she persisted.
Don't know," said the boy.
But you MUST know SOMETHING," declared Dorothy, getting provoked.
Must I?" he asked, looking up in surprise.
Of course you must."
What must I know?"
What's going to become of you, for one thing," she answered.
