GRANDMA and Grandpa Lightfoot
" were quite surprised when Johnnie

grandparents did not know they had
gone 10 the city, but supposed they
were off playing in the woods.
Johnnie and Billie told what they had
seen, and how frightened they were, and
how glad they were to get back home
and they said they would never so

At first Johnnie and Billie did not
want 10 do this. but when they thought
how kind Jennie always had been "a
