Tom's younger brother (or rather half-brother) Sid was already through with his part of the work (picking up chips), for he was a quiet boy, and had no adventurous, trouble-some ways.
El germa petit de Tom (o, millor, germanastre), Sid, estava ja enfeinat en la seva contribució al treball (arreplegant les miques de fusta), perque era un noi tranquil, i no pas de mena aventurera ni enquimeradora.
