"What are you going to do while I'm at school?" asked Curly of his
little piggie brother, who was playing in the front yard.
"Oh, I think I'll build myself a little house out of corncobs," said
Flop, "and then I'll go over and tell Jennie Chipmunk that she can
put her rag doll to sleep in it."
"Fine!" cried Curly. "And when I come home from school I'll bring
you each a lollypop."
So Curly put on his warm checker-pattern coat and stuck his paws in
little red mittens, for it was quite cold that morning, and off he
went to school.
But his brother, who had to stay home because he was not vaccinated,
looked out in the yard, and pretty soon he said:
"Oh, I guess I'll go out and take a walk. Maybe I can find something
or have an adventure."
So out Flop walked in the yard, and pretty soon, in a little while,
not so very long, he came to a place where there was something that
looked like a black stone with yellow marks on it.
"That's just what I'm looking for," said Flop, as he saw the queer
stone.
