　　“I know they are coming then, ” answered Tommy, “ and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my big brother doesn’t want them to be out of our house at night in case they are stolen.”

　　“But what has it got to do with your big brother?” asked the teacher, “Aren't the butterflies yours?”

　　“No, ” answered Tommy．“They belong to him.”
