The boy very smartly saluted and said, “sir follow me.”
His forthwith brought him to the place that Mr Boyce desired. Then Mr Boyce characteristically of the traveller pulled his coin purse out and offered the boy some money.
The boy promptly saluted and said, “Sir I am a Scout and Scouts do not accept tips for courtesies.”
The man said,“What did you say?”
The scout repeated what he said. And added, “Don’t you know what the Scouts are?”
He said,“ I don’t , but I would like to know.”
The boy said,“Follow me.”
