You're just like a fireman, aren't you, Daddy?
gpt
Well, a little, yes, admitted Mr. Bobbsey, with a laugh.
human
But better not any more of you try those firemen tricks,
gpt
I'll have to put the swing away if you climb the rope any more,
human
We won't shinny up it any more,
gpt
I guess we've had enough swinging, said Bert.
human
Let's play something else, Harry. Got any new games?
gpt
We can go down to the pond and fish.
human
Oh, I love to fish! exclaimed Nan.
gpt
What kind of fish can you catch in the pond, Harry?
human
Bullfrogs, mostly.
gpt
They aren't fish,
human
Well, it's just as much fun,
gpt
I guess I'd better go help mother unpack the trunks, Nan said, for she saw the expressman drive up with two trunks that had been sent on ahead.
human
Mother will want me to help her get the things out so we can go to the Bolton County Fair to-morrow. You're coming, aren't you, Harry?
gpt
Sure! It'll be great. But now we'll go fishing for bullfrogs. Come on, Bert!
human
I want to fish!
gpt
No, you and Flossie come with me,
human
Don't want to come with you! pouted Flossie.
gpt
We wants to go fishing!
human
How would you and Freddie like to go after eggs? asked Nan, as she saw her brother and Harry making signals to her for her to do her best to keep Flossie and Freddie from following.
gpt
Wouldn't you like to gather eggs?
human
Where do you get the eggs?
gpt
In the barn. We'll take the eggs out of the nests, and you and Flossie can carry the eggs in a little basket to Aunt Bobbsey.
human
Oh, yes! cried Flossie.
gpt
I want to do that!
human
So do I!
gpt
All right, said Nan, waving to Bert and Harry to hurry away before the small twins changed their minds.
human
Come with me, and after I help mother unpack the trunk we'll go and get the eggs.
