Once I bumped into an apple tree " The toe of his snow-shoe caught in an ice-hummock and sent him face downward into the snow. He picked himself up and went on.
Squinty heard one man cry, and then the comical little pig dodged under a bush, and kept on running. When Squinty stopped running it was quite dark. He could hardly see, and he had run into several trees, and bumped his nose a number of times. It hurt him very much. "Well, I guess I'm lost again," thought Squinty. "And I am all alone.
Koko and Menie were not strong enough to hold them back, and they could not run fast enough to keep up with them. So they just bumped along behind the dogs! Some of the time they slid through the snow.
How it happened was sufficient for him. Thus, when he had bumped his nose on the back-wall a few times, he accepted that he would not disappear into walls.
