Hello. I'm not sure what 'with hearts a-thump' means in the context.
Does it mean the boy's heart doesnt beat fast now?
Please help! Thank you.
Now what? Now what do boys
so clever, brave and true,
with hearts a-thump for bears so fine
and Mamas sleeping in the night...
what do they do?
(In the picturebook, the boy made a big bear rumble into the hole he had made. And at first, he shivered and his heart kept thumping!
But now, finally the bear is asleep, he isn't afraid of it anymore.)
