The umbrella Stewart got for his
birthday was a mannish looking um-
brella with a short handle on the end
of which dogs head was carved.
1t was a bulldog with a wicked look
ing jaw. Stewart was proud of the
umrella, though he didn't like the
handle very much.
One rainy afternoon he came home
from school with his new umbrella.
When he got in the house he left it
on the porch and sat down by the
fireplace to get warm. After while
he decided to go out and get his UNI
brella, which had been left wide open
and might blow w-away.
AS he went out on the porch a
sudden gust of wind caught the UNI
brella and picked it up. 1t skidded
lightly Off the porch. Stewart ran
after it, and suddenly the umbrella
made a swoop, right at him. 1t
