 Well, one afternoon Tommy, just for fun, get all hls new balls together in a pile. He had a good many. because everybody who loved Tommy always gave him ball
 There was q big brick Ted, soft one that he used to keep in his cradle when he was q baby. There was a harder one of gray rubber that vas fine to throw into a tub of water. And there was q leather football almost as round as Tommy was. Besides, there were two baseballs that he used to throw over the fence, and there was a red, white and blue ball that came from Paris.
 But best of all was his bean ball. This really was a baby doll stuffed with beans So Tommy could use 1t as a ball or as a bean bag, just as he pleased.
 One day it rained hard, and Tommy left his bean bag doll outdoors in the wet. And what happenedH Why, the beans all swelled up, split open the bag and before Tommy found them started to grow right there in the door ward. Wasn't that funny?
