Are you going to school, Tom?
gpt
Yes.
human
What for?
gpt
Because my father makes me go. I tried to get off this morning. I made believe sick; but father was going to make me take some of his nasty physic, and I thought I'd rather go to school than do that.
human
I can tell you how you can stay away from school without taking any physic.
gpt
How?
human
Give me the three cents, and I will tell you.
gpt
I haven't them; if I had I would.
human
Well, I will tell you how to get them, if you like.
gpt
How?
human
Go home to your mother, and tell her the schoolma'am sent you home for three cents to buy a new book.
gpt
I'll do that,
human
Mind you, Tom, go to your mother--don't go to your father.
