i ~ corrse they couldn't see where they
uere going, as they were all in the
dark. Presently they heard the giants

as that of the giant but not nots,st. so roush'
"Geewhilickers, he must be a mon

enough to put US in." gasped Billy, for
getting that he and Peggy were no"
only rabbit size.
BEFORE Peggy could answer Billy was
4 ,fted ont of the sack kicking and struS'
Cling moment later she. too, felt n
great hand grasp her long rabbit ears
and she was drawn from the sack. She
got one glimpse Of a big. cluttered room
/ and then she was squeezed into a huRe
pocket-one she fitted so snugly she
could not even wrlggle her ears or NIB
hlv nose She was squeezed and she
was stuffed, and she felt herself carried
about. She thought she would smother
Then all of sudden her ears were
| grabbed again ard she was pulled out
bv q giant hand, and held up in blaze
OF lights, kicking and struggling.
| She heard n loud roar, as OF n sea
breaking upon the beach in a storm.
and she saw blur of faces Where in
the world was she, and what was going
TO happen to her?
Can YOU guess where she was?
can you guess what was happening
20 her?
What do you think Is going to happen
to her and Billy in the next chapter?
