that way! But then, you see, he was six.

When Monnie's turn came she wanted to go down that way, too. But
Menie said, "No. You'd fall off and bump your nose! You have
hardly any nose as it is, and you'd better save it!"

"I have as much nose as you have, anyway," said Monnie.

"Mine is bigger! I'm a boy!" said Menie.

Koko measured their noses with his finger.

"They are just exactly alike," he said.

Monnie turned hers up at Menie and said, "What did I tell you?"

Menie never said another word about noses. He just changed the
subject. He said, "Let's all slide down at once."

Koko and Menie sat down on the sled. Monnie sat on Menie. Then
they gave a few hitches to the sled and off they went.

Whiz! How they flew!

The pups came running after them. In some places where it was
very slippery the pups coasted, too! But they did not mean to.
They did not like it. The sled was almost at the end of the slide
when it struck a piece of ice. It flew around sideways and
spilled all the children in the snow.
