"
I
ca
n't
,
"
I
shouted
back
.
"
But
you
do
n't
try
,
"
they
answered
.
I
explained
the
matter
to
them
when
I
got
nearer
,
and
they
caught
me
and
lent
me
a
pole
.
The
weir
was
just
fifty
yards
below
.
I
am
glad
they
happened
to
be
there
.
The
first
time
I
went
punting
was
in
company
with
three
other
fellows
;
they
were
going
to
show
me
how
to
do
it
.
We
could
not
all
start
together
,
so
I
said
I
would
go
down
first
and
get
out
the
punt
,
and
then
I
could
potter
about
and
practice
a
bit
until
they
came
.
I
could
not
get
a
punt
out
that
afternoon
,
they
were
all
engaged
;
so
I
had
nothing
else
to
do
but
to
sit
down
on
the
bank
,
watching
the
river
,
and
waiting
for
my
friends
.
I
had
not
been
sitting
there
long
before
my
attention
became
attracted
to
a
man
in
a
punt
who
,
I
noticed
with
some
surprise
,
wore
a
jacket
and
cap
exactly
like
mine
.
He
was
evidently
a
novice
at
punting
,
and
his
performance
was
most
interesting
.
You
never
knew
what
was
going
to
happen
when
he
put
the
pole
in
;
he
evidently
did
not
know
himself
.
Sometimes
he
shot
up
stream
and
sometimes
he
shot
down
stream
,
and
at
other
times
he
simply
spun
round
and
came
up
the
other
side
of
the
pole
.
And
with
every
result
he
seemed
equally
surprised
and
annoyed
.
The
people
about
the
river
began
to
get
quite
absorbed
in
him
after
a
while
,
and
to
make
bets
with
one
another
as
to
what
would
be
the
outcome
of
his
next
push
.
In
the
course
of
time
my
friends
arrived
on
the
opposite
bank
,
and
they
stopped
and
watched
him
too
.
His
back
was
towards
them
,
and
they
only
saw
his
jacket
and
cap
.
From
this
they
immediately
jumped
to
the
conclusion
that
it
was
I
,
their
beloved
companion
,
who
was
making
an
exhibition
of
himself
,
and
their
delight
knew
no
bounds
.
They
commenced
to
chaff
him
unmercifully
.
I
did
not
grasp
their
mistake
at
first
,
and
I
thought
,
"
How
rude
of
them
to
go
on
like
that
,
with
a
perfect
stranger
,
too
!
"
But
before
I
could
call
out
and
reprove
them
,
the
explanation
of
the
matter
occurred
to
me
,
and
I
withdrew
behind
a
tree
.
