115. Learning to Ride. Le Blond, No. 104.
Grandpa, leaning on his stick, is standing at his cottage gate, situate in a delightful country lane, watching his little grandson learning to ride. The youngster is mounted, bare back, on a fiery steed–a goat. His sister is holding him on, and a boy kneels at the animal’s head to keep it steady; another little fellow, in terror, has run to his mother, who is seated on a felled tree. Two other figures are coming down the lane.
