A free trip
"I didn't often have to trip!" he said, laughing. "Someone in a car is always ready to pick me up
if I stand by the road and wait. Do you often take people in your car?" said Ford.
"Yes," said Patterson. "I stop for them when they look tired or poor. I feel sorry for them when
they're walking and I'm in my car. They haven't as much money as I have, and so I'm ready to help
them."But as he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Ford's coat. It was a good coat and
Patterson thought about it a lot as he kept us eyes on the road in front.
They came at last to a big forest with high trees on each side of the road. This part of the country
was very beautiful, but they did not see any other cars or people, and there were no houses. Then
Patterson saw something on, the road far away in front of the car.
"What's that?" he cried. "Can you see it? It looks like a man. There! Can you see his face? Is
he ill? He may be dead. Poor man!"
