One evening when the little boy had finished supper, he hurried out to sit with his friend.

He found their evenings together immensely entertaining.

He found the old man in great glee.

Uncle Remus had heard the child coming.

The little blond boy peeps at Uncle Remus from around the corner; Uncle Remus is an old black man in a white shirt, balding with a white beard; Uncle Remus is leaning back in a chair, his arms behind his head and his eyes closed.
