tent. You might fall off." "I can fall off now!" announced Trouble, as he suddenly thought of something.

"I--I bumped _my_ head!" exclaimed the little fellow, rubbing his tangled hair. "He didn't mean to," said Janet. "You mustn't roll off that way, Trouble. You might be hurt. Come now, go to sleep under the couch. That's inside the tent you know." She showed him where Ted had spread the rug, as far back under the couch as he could reach, and this looked to Trouble like a nice place. "I go to sleeps in there!" he said, and under the couch he crawled, growling and grunting. "What are you doing that for?" asked Ted, in some surprise. "I's a bear!" exclaimed Baby William. "I's a bad bear! Burr-r-r-r!" and he growled again. "Oh, you mustn't do that!" objected Janet. "We don't want any bears in our camp!" |
