But, somehow or other. JUMBO could
not slide down the guinea pigs cellar
door. He went to the top OF the slant
and tried to slide down, but there he
stuck.
"oh, you can't slide down our cellar
door, said Buddy, coming out just then
Why not?" asked Jumpo.
Because It's too rough" went on
Buddy. "Brighteyes and | have often
tried It. but we never could have any

looked toward the cellar door. there were
Jumpo. Buddy and Brighteyes sliding
down as fast as anything

So the gander gentleman and thH
bunny uncle took turns sliding on the
slippery cellar door with JUMBO Buddy
and Rrlghteyes, and they had fine fun.
Grandpa Gooscy didn't care how his
feathers were ruffled, and when Uncle
Wiggilv went down backward and
bumped into JUMBO he only laughed

said the bunny
Then. all Of a sudden. along came
Mrs. Kinllytail the monkey lady
