"Can't I play on your ball team?" asked Lulu, who could throw a stone almost as well as a boy. "No," said Jimmie. "Girls never play on ball teams." "Couldn't I even umpire?" went on his sister. "No, Uncle Wiggily Longears is going to do that," replied Jimmie. "Billie and Johnnie Bushytail and Sammie Littletail are going to play on the team. But let's go ask papa if we can stay home.
Two are hardly enough for a picnic." "I would like some of my friends to come to it," spoke Uncle Wiggily, "but I am afraid they are too far off." "Couldn't you send them word by telephone?" inquired the pussy. "I'm sure I would like to meet them, for I have heard so much about Sammie and Susie Littletail, and Johnnie and Billie Bushytail."
"Fine!" cried Uncle Wiggily, making his nose twinkle like a star on a Christmas tree in the dark. "Grandpa Goosey will be glad to get a pie. I'll take him one." "We have it all ready for you," said Mrs. Bushytail, the squirrel mother of Johnnie and Billie, as she came in the sitting-room.
But it wouldn't come down, and then they all threw up stones and sticks, but still that ball wouldn't come down, and then Billie and Johnnie Bushytail climbed up and they had it down in about two frisks of their big, long tails. Well, they said that Sammie Littletail was out for knocking the ball up in the tree, and he didn't like it, but he gave in, and the game went on.
Well, Buddy and Sammie hadn't gone very far before they met Billie and Johnnie Bushytail, the boy squirrels, and they agreed to play ball. Then, as the four of them went along a little farther, they met Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, out walking with Percival, the old circus dog. So Peetie and Jackie said they would play ball, and that made six.
Well, in a little while along came hopping, Sammie and Susie Littletail, the rabbit children, and Billie and Johnnie Bushytail, the squirrel brothers, and Bully and Bawly the frogs, and Dottie and Munchie Trot, the ponies, and Lulu and Alice and Jimmie Wibblewobble, the duck twins, and Buddy and Brighteyes Pigg, and oh, all the boy and girl animals I have ever told you about.
We'll find Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, and Sammie Littletail, and have some fun. Have you seen Uncle Wiggily Longears? He will umpire for us, I know, and tell who's out, and when the balls go straight, and all that. Have you seen him?" "I saw him limping along a while ago," answered Bully. "He can't have gone very far, for his rheumatism is bad again."
"I haven't any money," said Jimmie, and tears began to run down his broad, yellow bill, for the little boy duck felt pretty bad, I can tell you. "You will have to save up all the pennies you get," decided Grandfather Goosey-Gander. "Boys should not be so careless." "We thought you were a fox," said Billie Bushytail. "And we all threw stones at you," added Sammie Littletail.
It must be time to serve the refreshments. I'll go ask Mrs. Wibblewobble." "I don't want refreshments," objected Billie, in a whisper to Sister Sallie. "I'm hungry, and I want something to eat!" "Hush!" cried his little sister again. "Refreshments are good things to eat!" "Oh," said Billie, and just then in came Mamma Wibblewobble and Aunt Lettie and Mrs. Bushytail and Mrs.
He always appears when any one says "Oh, dear!" three times in exactly the right way, but it's hard to know just what is the right way. "Well," said the little green man, "you seem to be in trouble." "I am," cried Sammie. "A hawk has Billie Bushytail, and I want to save him." "Very well," said the little green man, "since you are so kind, you shall save him.
