others could stop him he ran forward and caught Whopper by the
arm. "Wake up, Whopper!" he called. "Wake up, old man! You've
got 'em bad!"
At first Whopper paid no attention. "Then his struggles with the bush
ceased and he opened his eyes and stared about him in bewilderment.
"Wh-what is the matter? Wh-where am I?" he stammered, gazing around
stupidly.
"You've been asleep and dreaming," explained Snap. "You thought you
were after a bear."
"So I was---after a dozen bears. Did I---I kill any?"
"There are no bears here. You were only dreaming."
"Oh!" Whopper rubbed his eyes. "No bears at all?"
"None but what we shot yesterday. You went to sleep and the next
thing we knew you were out here, pulling at this bush."
"Where am I?"
"Back of the cabin," put in Shep. "You had better go to bed again."
"And please don't dream of any more bears," added Giant, with a grin.
Whopper scratched his head in perplexity.
"Funny how I got here! I don't understand it at all.
