“Sounds logical,” said Giovanni’s mother.
“Now I go by there every morning on my paper route, but the house is always quiet and dark.”
“Because it’s so early.”
“They have a dog called Pooch. His tail is just like a broom! When I go, he runs along beside me whining. He goes all the way to the corner in town with me. Sometimes even farther. Tonight,” he went on, “everyone is going to sail gourds with candles down the river. I’m sure they’ll take the dog.”
“That’s right, tonight’s the Milky Way Festival, isn’t it?”
“Yes. When I go for the milk, I’ll go take a look.”
“Yes, go right ahead!” urged his mother. “Only stay out of the river.”
“I’ll just be looking down from the rocks, and I’ll be back in an hour.”
“Play as much as you like. If you’re with Campanella, I’m not worried.”
“We’ll be right together! Shall I close the window, Mom?”
“I guess so. It is getting cool.”
Giovanni got up and closed the window. Then he washed the dishes, put away the bag of sugar and the bread, and, in high spirits, started out.
“I’ll be back in an hour and a half, then,” he called, and went out through the dark doorway.
