"Who who are you?" stammered Brighteyes, thinking to make friends with the creatures. "We're groundhogs!" they both cried together, "and we want your money." "What for?" asked Brighteyes, wondering what question she could ask next. "We're going to buy firecrackers," answered the one on the right end. "Fourth of July is past," said Brighteyes. "No matter.
I was looking for something to take home to Brighteyes, my sister." "What! Is Brighteyes Pigg your sister?" cried the two groundhogs, rustling around in the dark hole, and when Buddy said she was, they said they were very sorry for having frightened her on the plank. They were only playing a joke, they said, and they promised never to bother her again.
Then she thought she would jump over their heads, but she couldn't jump very well, not being a grasshopper, you see, and she didn't know what to do, and she was crying the least bit, when, all of a sudden, who should come along but the three Wibblewobble children Lulu and Alice and Jimmie and when they saw how the two groundhogs had made Brighteyes a prisoner in the middle of the plank bridge, those three ducks just stretched out their long necks, and cried, "Quack!
Then Buddy was happy again, and almost glad he had fallen down the big hole, because he had something good to take home to eat. Now, in case I have cherry pie for supper and the juice doesn't get on my red necktie and turn it green, I'll tell you soon about a trick the groundhogs played.
Give us all your money, or we'll push you into the brook!" declared the two groundhogs together, and when Brighteyes said she hadn't any change, for there was no pocket in her dress, you see, to carry any money in, what did those bad groundhogs do, but begin to teeter-tauter up and down, with the little guinea pig girl on the middle of the plank.
