Well, when the sugar was all tossed up, and the boy was running real fast, Billie Bushytail called to Buddy: "Now throw the pound of butter down in front of the boy!" Which Buddy did as quick as a wink, and lossy-me and a pancake! if that boy didn't slip down in the slippery butter, and fall and hurt his nose, and he had to let go of Buddy Pigg. "Now's your chance.
They saw Billie, all wrapped up in blankets, in bed, and he looked quite ill. But he seemed happy in spite of that, for the hot mustard footbath had helped him some. He smiled when he saw Jimmie and Lulu and Alice. Then Jimmie gave Mrs. Bushytail some nice acorns he had picked up in the woods and had carried under his wing. "They are for Billie," said Jimmie.
Well, Jimmie was pretty proud, I can tell you, and he was such a good hitter that Bully said: "Let Jimmie knock some more balls for us to catch." So he did, after Billie Bushytail had run to get the one that went over the tree, and brought it back.
First the boys all stayed on one side of the room and the girls on the other, but when Alice said, "Let's play spin the platter," they all cried out, "Oh, yes, let's do it." And they used one of Mamma Wibblewobble's dishes for the platter, and didn't break it a bit. Jimmie was "it" part of the time, and so was Johnnie Bushytail.
"Oh, maybe it's Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, and perhaps Sister Sallie is with them!" she said, aloud, and she didn't feel quite so frightened. Then that terrible noise came again, and the bushy thing got bigger, and Lulu saw that it was the tail of a great, big black dog. Oh, such a big black dog as it was!
Then Buddy told her of the trick he had tried to perform. "Little guinea pigs are safer on the ground," she said. "Leave such things to Billie and Johnnie Bushytail, or the Bow Wows, who were once in a circus. Now get washed for supper, for your papa will soon be here, and I think he'll fetch a quart of carrot ice cream, as it is so hot." And sure enough, Dr.
So they all three got busy. They piled and scooped the sand up around the upright sticks, and, pretty soon, believe me, if it really didn't begin to look like a real house. It was about as big as a big box, and nearly as high; and the cellar was quite large. "What will we do with the house when we've finished it?" asked Billie Bushytail.
"Never mind," spoke Uncle Wiggily, kindly, "as long as you were not burned yourself, Nurse Jane." "But where will you sleep to-night?" asked the muskrat lady, sorrowfully. "Oh," began Uncle Wiggily, "I guess I can " "Come stay with us!" cried Sammie and Susie Littletail, the rabbit children. "Or with us!" invited Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the squirrels.
And as for Billie Bushytail, when it was his turn, he knocked a ball away over in the field, and Lulu ran after it, even if she wasn't supposed to play. She threw it back too, and then she went and sat down with Alice and Susie and Sister Sallie.
"Oh," promised Sammie, "I won't, you may be sure. But, Uncle Wiggily, are squirrels all right to play with?" "Oh, yes, squirrels are very nice," said his Uncle. "Why, did you see some?" "Yes, I met two, and they said their names were Billie and Johnnie Bushytail, and they are coming over to see me some time." "That will be nice," remarked Susie. "May I play with them, too?"
