 '"The birds still there. He likes to ride. You'd think that he'd be satisfied with pecking holes in our balloon. I hope that he is through!"

 The bird then chirped and took to wing. Cried Dotty, You're a mean old thing! Don't ever come near us again, or we will capture you.
 "Then, right into cage you'll go, and you will not like that, I know" The bird just swooped around a bit. Then out of sight he flew.

 You're right" yelled Coppy. They've a net. They plan to catch us all, I'll bet" Then Jack Frost's helper shouted, Be all ready, tots, to jump.
 ''The safest way it can be done, I'm pretty sure, is one by one. If we all jumped together. we would get an awful bump."
 They neared the earth and one strange man from down below yelled, "If you can. leap right into our net and we will hold you off the ground"
 'T'll jump," cried Duncy. 'T don't mind." The others followed right behind. What luck they had! Each one was caught. They all were safe and sound.
