Where can he be?

I'll tell you what I think happened, said Uncle Toby.
human
Trouble wandered away from you, while you were buying your Christmas presents. He wandered out into the street and got confused. Maybe he started crying in the street, and some farmer and his wife, in their sled, may have taken him in to comfort him.
gpt
But what would they do with him?
human
Some farmer and his wife picked Trouble up off the street and took him home with them,
gpt
Why would they do that?
human
They may have thought Trouble was the child of some neighbor whom they knew, and they planned to take him home. Depend on it--that's what happened!
gpt
But how will we get Trouble back?
human
Why, the farmer, whoever he is, will find out his mistake, and he'll bring the little fellow back to town again, was the answer.
gpt
That's what will happen. But I'll get as many men as I can, and with the constable we'll inquire of all the farmers around here. In that way we'll get Trouble back quicker.
