It was like Jack and Jill, falling down the hill,
gpt
That's right, agreed Tom.
human
But I guess I'd better be going home, he added.
gpt
Do you s'pose my things are dry yet?
human
Oh, mercy, no! exclaimed the mother of the Curlytops.
gpt
They won't be dry until to-morrow. I'll have Nora hang them in the kitchen by the range.
human
But I guess maybe--I'd like to, but--er--now--I don't guess my mother would like me to stay here all night,
gpt
You don't have to stay here all night,
human
Well, but if my things aren't dry--
gpt
Oh, wear those of Ted's that you have on, laughed Mrs. Martin.
human
I didn't know what you meant. That's all right--wear those things of Ted's. He has plenty more. Yours will be dry in the morning.
gpt
And I hope there'll be ice on the toboggan slide in the morning! exclaimed Ted.
human
I wish you could stay all night, Tom. Couldn't he, Mother? he asked wistfully.
gpt
We'd be awful good and he could sleep with me and we wouldn't pillow fight or anything. And Tom's better'n I am about spilling things on the tablecloth at breakfast.
human
Oh, it wasn't that I was thinking of, said Mrs. Martin.
gpt
I was thinking his mother and father would want him home. It's getting late.
human
But we don't have to get up early to-morrow. It's Saturday and there's no school!
gpt
My mother wouldn't care if I didn't come home, as long as I was over here,
human
Well, I suppose it would be best for you not to go out in the cold again, after having been wet, said Mrs. Martin.
gpt
We could telephone to your mother, Tom.
human
All right!
gpt
Hurray!
human
Be careful! Don't awaken Trouble!
