the toadstool and gave it to Nellie Chip-Chip for an umbrella, and the
sparrow girl could go home in the rain without getting wet. And Grandpa thanked Bully and Bawly and hopped on home with them. So thatâs the end of this story. But in case the little dog next door doesnât take our doormat and eat it for supper with his bread and butter Iâll tell you in the story after this one about Bawly and Jollie Longtail. STORY X BAWLY N For a few days after Grandpa Croaker, the old frog gentleman, had been wound around the toadstool by the snake, as I told you in the story before this one, he was so sore and stiff from the squeezing he had received, that he had to sit in an easy chair, and eat hot mush with sugar on. And, in order that he would not be lonesome, Bawly and Bully No-Tail, the frog boys, sat near him, and read him funny things from their school books, or the paper, and Grandpa Croaker was very thankful to them. The frog boys wanted very much to go away and play ball with their friends, for, it being the Easter vacation, there was no school, but, instead, they remained at home nearly all the while, so Grandpa wouldnât feel lonesome. |
