"I can't!" said Captain Kidd, who was terribly frightened, because the General was sure to be angry. "Can't!" cried General Antenna fiercely. "Can't! What do you mean, madam?" Captain Kidd's voice broke as she stammered an answer to General Antenna's rude demand. "I know of only one stepladder in Pleasant Valley," she explained. "It belongs to Farmer Green.

And it's so heavy that the whole army couldn't move it." At that a shudder passed over General Antenna's fat body. "Then we're as good as lost!" she shrieked. "Daddy Longlegs will defeat us. And I'll never hear the last of it." And right there on the edge of the battle-field General Antenna shed so many bitter tears that Captain Kidd had to move aside slightly, to keep her feet from getting wet.
