Two men, John and Malta, found a boy in the pouch of his porch and John told Malta to take care of the boy. Then Malta gave the boy food, but he gave the beagle dog owned by Maltese and John just food. Then Martha asked the boy what his name was, but he just placed his hand on the table. Then after the boy was still midnight, Malta and John prepared the bed for him. The next day John went to town to find the boy 's parents, while Malta taught the boy how to play the song using a ladder with a spoon. Then John came back to see the boy playing the song. After many days, I saw Malta and John talking with animals rather than talking about them, and they noticed that he was talking through eavesdropping. Then John told the sheriff about the missing child, and he promised that he would go to their house to see where the children 's parents were. But one day the car ran to their home, a thin guy walked, told the boy he was his son and took the boy away.

In this story, Beagle dogs and cattle are important for boys. I know that the Beagle dog has been affected by my older sister's dog, but I do not know the origin of the cow. Ironically, six months after I finished the boy at the pouch, my granddaughter began working on a cow farm, in particular she was clinging to a particular cow, and she often asked her I put it behind. A boy in the story "rides" the cow

One day, a young couple named Maltese and John found a boy sleeping in the old chair of the front porch. His arrival is as marvelous as possible. I have never heard that everyone walks on a dirt road and goes to a small farm. There is only one clue. A note of scribbles was written in the pocket. But as the days and weeks expanded, Marta and John still did not say a word, but I found out that I liked Jelly Beans and liked any surface. I'm very happy to play with drums, my dogs, Beagle dogs, and family cows. Most importantly, he is a very enthusiastic and proficient artist who creates not only capricious and fantasy scenes, but also landscapes full of blue trees, red roads and purple animals. Is this probably a clue to his hometown?
