wanted to see the King, but he
wanted the King to be all alone.
Something very important was on

They came to the Kings throne.

his story and asked that he might

world and have the dwellers come to-

ed very strange to Tinker Bob. But
after thinking about it, he decided
it wasn't so bad after all. The secret
of becoming King was the Stone of

more power than any dwelIer of the
forest, because by this stone he knew
and understood-and anyone that
knows and understands everything
has a right to be king.
Tinker Bob was happy while he
was King, and all Of the dwellers
