Crow suggested. But Billy Woodchuck shook his head. "I couldn't pay anybody anything unless it was clover-tops," he explained. "And why should any one dig for them when there are thousands to be had for the taking?" Mr. Crow agreed that Billy Woodchuck knew what he was talking about. "But," said Mr. Crow, "I've usually found that there's a way out of every difficulty.
'Girl! he thundered, 'what do you mean? Let go my horse! As he said these words he gave his bridle a jerk; but the noble steed paid no attention to his master. He was not afraid of girls. In former days he had learned to like them; to him a girl meant sugar and savory clover-tops. He bent his head toward Almia, and instantly her hand was in her pocket and she drew forth an Albert biscuit.
Hodder has taught them to settle their differences in that way; it is much more sensible." She picked off the white clover-tops. "So that is Mr. Hodder, of St. John's," she said. "Ah, you know him, then?" "I've met him," she answered quietly. "Are these children connected with his church?" "They are little waifs from Dalton Street and that vicinity," said Mr. Bentley.
But Buster Bumblebee did not find anything that really pleased him until he paused at a fat sugar-bowl. Since the sugar was sweet he couldn't help liking that, though it did seem somewhat tasteless to him after his feasts among the clover-tops. "This is the only food here that's worth eating," he remarked to himself, "though perhaps the cake would not be bad, once a person learned to like it."

The twins saw the workers, too. They were delighted. And so was Johnnie Green.

He moved across where he could not smell the cabbage axed made his supper of a bundle of hay that had been blown from the stack.
Then they all went for a walk in the meadow where the red clover-tops nod in the wind, and Mamma Goose did no more thinking that day. But when night came, she did not forget her plan. As soon as the sun had gone down behind the hill, the chickens all perched themselves along the roost with the big white cock at the end of the row, and soon they were all fast asleep.
