Quintus helps his father

The next day Scintilla calls Quintus. She sends him to the field. Quintus carries food to Flaccus; for Flaccus works in the field for a long time and is tired. The boy hurries to the field; he leads Argus with him. Soon Quintus enters the field. He sees Flaccus and calls. Flaccus hears his son and walks to him; he sits on the ground and eats the food.
Quintus does not return home but remains in the field and helps Flaccus. He climbs an olive tree and shakes down olives. Flaccus collects the olives. Suddenly Quintus slips and falls to the ground. Flaccus is anxious and runs to him, but Quintus is not hurt; he gets up and returns home.
