"It's right down kind of you to mend my shoes for me so quickly, little Bubbalong," said Mrs Whine-A-Bit. "And for nothing, too, because I'm so poor. Now I wonder what I can do for you in return. I've no eggs to give you. And, dear me, there's not even a lettuce in my garden I can offer you. And..."

"Ma! You tell Mrs Whine-A-Bit we don't want anything in return for a bit of kindness," called little Rubbalong.
