So he walked over to the Common and lay down under some bushes and went to sleep . Sol was wakened by the snuffling noise that a cow makes when it is eating the grass and by the sound of the grass being bitten off . And he started up , thinking of the farm at home , and there was a cow almost near enough to touch . When he started up , the cow was frightened and galloped off , and Sol saw that the sun was up and it must be about six o'clock . He laughed at the cow and opened his bundle and took out some bread that he had brought , and some gingerbread , and he ate them . It was n't much of a breakfast , but he had n't been able to get anything better . And , when he had finished , he walked down to Spring Lane and got a drink of water at the spring , and he washed his face and hands .
