Tippy Toes answered, "Thank you, Grandpa Grumbles, I will come and
visit you for a year and a day," but Snubby Nose cried and he screamed and he howled. I don't know what would have happened next, but Grandpa Grumbles went outside, and opened wide his green cotton umbrella, and invited Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes to step inside. They did so, and in less time than it takes to tell it they were sailing away with Grandpa Grumbles in his green cotton umbrella! [Illustration: "THEY WERE SAILING AWAY WITH GRANDPA GRUMBLES"] Bunny and Susan said, "How will he ever get along with Snubby Nose for a year and a day? We wish Tippy Toes was back. He was such a good little fellow." Susan picked up the pink wrapper and Bunny picked up the pink cup and saucer. Bunny Cotton-Tail said, "We will have a long quiet evening alone." "Don't be too sure of that," sang the wind as it whistled down the chimney. Susan said, "I will put on my new spectacles and we will read by the new lamp." _Then the most surprising thing happened!_ The Seventeen Little Bears came tumbling in the doors and windows! |
