nine o'clock in the morning
`` Now I do n't care what you do with yours , '' he said ; `` only , if you eat it all now , you 'll be hungry enough to browse with the goats before it 's time to go home . Better take just a bite and a drink of water and eat more by and by . '' Seppi looked hungrily at his portion and took a bite . Then he just could n't stop , and before he knew it his whole luncheon was gone and it was only nine o'clock in the morning ! Leneli took two bites of hers , and then , wrapping it carefully in the piece of cloth , placed it high up on an overhanging rock out of the way of temptation . Then , while Fritz was teaching Seppi all the tricks of a goat-boy 's trade , she found a soft patch of grass all spangled with blue gentians and fell asleep with her head on her arm . She slept for some time , and Fritz and Seppi , seeing how tired she was , did not disturb her .
