The second little boy is Miss Sally's grandson and the son of the first little boy. Uncle Remus says there's a huge difference between the two boys, as the second is so well-mannered that Uncle Remus sometimes doesn't know how to act around him. The boy asks questions, but his questions are different. He doesn't ask about things that will prompt explanations in the form of additional stories, but rather, he wants to know why the animals steal and why they can get away with such cruel behavior.
