"Suppose you begin." "I will obey my mother," said Silver Ears. "I will try to take poor Daddy's place," said Limpy-toes. "I will mind the baby," said Tiny. "I will mind baby, too," said Teenty. "Your turn, Buster," reminded Uncle Squeaky. "I will try to wake up mornings," said Buster. "And not eat so much, my boy.
