Do you think there are any sand paintings in our field now? Benny asked hopefully.No, answered Mr. Pond, smiling. There haven't been any Indians here for many years.I'd rather have Indians here than whoever is living in that hut, said Jessie.
Benny expresses a wish to see sand paintings, which makes him hopeful that there might still be some around. Mr. Pond, however, gently informs him that there haven't been any Native Americans in the area for a long time, suggesting that such art is no longer present. This exchange illustrates Benny's interest in traditional culture and history.
Jessie, on the other hand, shares her preference for having Native Americans in the area instead of the current occupants of a nearby hut. This comment reflects her feelings about the people living there now and hints at a longing for a connection to the past that the sand paintings represent. Overall, the dialogue captures a sense of nostalgia for a time and culture that seem lost.
