answer. They had disappeared from sight. Two of
the men went to look for them. Following the tracks which the many
little feet had left in the sand, they went on into the woods,
where they caught sight of the youngsters, marching along in line,
two by two, a big child and a little child. When the men called to
them they did not stop, but kept right on.

The men ran to overtake them. Then the children tried to run away,
but the smaller ones could not keep up; they stumbled and fell.
Then all of them stood still--wretchedly unhappy, and crying as if
their little hearts would break.

"But, children, where are you going?" asked one of the men.
Whereupon the littlest ones set up a loud wail, and the eldest boy
answered:

"We don't want to go to Jerusalem; we want to go home."

And for a long time, even after the children had been brought back
to the station, and were seated in the railway carriage, they still
went on whimpering and crying: "We don't want to go to Jerusalem;
we want to go home."
