lawn sloped down to another house, where
Uncle Harry lived. So when Howard be-
gan to walk, be would take few steps
down the hill, and then roll on the green
grass the rest of the way, until he rolled
right into Uncle Harry's arms. Then
Uncle Harry would carry him TO the top,
and Howard would roll down again until
he was tired.
But one day when uncle Harry was not
there. Howard started down hill and rolled
ana rolled until ne came up, bump! against
q fence, because there was no one to catch
him.
Then Howard set up a cry, which his
nurse heard, and sue started down hill 10
pick him up. But half way down she fell
and began 10 roll, until she bumped right
into the fence, which was so funny TO
Howard that he forgot all about his fright
and began TO laugh.
Then nurse carried him up the hill, and
he never tried rolling down again unless
his Uncle Harry was there to catch him.
