A happy New Year to you all!" "Happy New Year, Uncle Squeaky!" they called in chorus. "Bring your fiddle next time, uncle," coaxed Silver Ears, as he pulled his fur cap down snugly. "And don't forget the checkermints," drawled Buster from his little red stool. Tiny and Teenty were inquisitive little twins.
They sat in a circle upon the barn floor around the heap of corn and sewed it into strings which Granny Whiskers tossed upon the branches of their tree. Granny was as interested as the youngsters in the Christmas doings. Another evening, Uncle Squeaky brought home some peppermints and checkermints. "Here, kiddies, sew some thread through these candies and hang 'em on your tree," he grinned.
And I wonder if you little folk could make some checkermints do?" He drew forth a handful of pink candies from his pocket and gave them three apiece. "Bless my stars, how that little Squealer does squeal! Here, Ma Graymouse, stuff his mouth with this candy and I will begin my story:"
They found some little red berries growing under the oak tree, that tasted very much like Uncle Squeaky's checkermints. Nimble-toes said that they were checkerberries. All too soon, the sun sank in the west, it began to grow dark and Mammy called that it was time to start for home. It was a fine moonlight evening and the walk home seemed short.
