His mother patted the weeper on his back ; Daisy offered to stay home with him ; and Nan said , in her decided way , `` Let him come ; I 'll take care of him . '' `` If Franz was going I would n't mind , for he is very careful ; but he is haying with the father , and I 'm not sure about the rest of you , '' began Mrs. Bhaer . `` It 's so far , '' put in Jack . `` I 'd carry him if I was going wish I was , '' said Dan , with a sigh . `` Thank you , dear , but you must take care of your foot . I wish I could go . Stop a minute , I think I can manage it after all ; '' and Mrs. Bhaer ran out to the steps , waving her apron wildly . Silas was just driving away in the hay-cart , but turned back , and agreed at once , when Mrs. Jo proposed that he should take the whole party to the pasture , and go for them at five o'clock . `` It will delay your work a little , but never mind ; we will pay you in huckleberry pies , '' said Mrs. Jo , knowing Silas 's weak point . His rough , brown face brightened up , and he said , with a cheery `` Haw ! haw ! '' `` Wal now , Mis ' Bhaer , if you go to bribin ' of me , I shall give in right away . '' `` Now , boys , I have arranged it so that you can all go , '' said Mrs. Bhaer , running back again , much relieved , for she loved to make them happy , and always felt miserable when she had disturbed the serenity of her little sons ; for she believed that the small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people , and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed . `` Can I go ? '' said Dan , delighted . `` I thought especially of you . Be careful , and never mind the berries , but sit about and enjoy the lovely things which you know how to find all about you , '' answered Mrs. Bhaer , who remembered his kind offer to her boy . `` Me too ! me too ! '' sung Rob , dancing with joy , and clapping his precious pail and cover like castanets .
`` Yes , and XXXXX and Nan must take good care of you .
