“It’s great,” was Jerry’s comment. “We’ve got to take it in, Ned.”
“That’s what I say. We were just wishing we had something to do, and along comes Chunky——”
“Oh, I knew you’d be interested as soon as I saw that poster,” interrupted the stout lad.
“It’s too bad that we let Noddy get ahead of us, though,” continued Jerry.
“Can’t we make some kind of an airship?” asked Bob. “All it needs is some wings and a motor. We can take the one from the auto. It’s almost new, and it has six cylinders,” for they had had a new engine put in their car, and the machine had otherwise been brought up to date.
“I guess it needs more than an engine to make a motor ship,” said Jerry.
“Motor ship! That’s a new one,” commented Ned. “But it’s a good name. I wish we had a motor ship.”
“Maybe we will have—some day,” remarked Jerry with that serious, thoughtful look still on his face. “But it’s too late to think of one for this carnival. However, we can take the show in. We may get some new ideas. Let’s see—to-day is Tuesday. It opens next Monday. We’ll arrange to go in our auto, and stay the whole week. Can you fellows manage it?”
“Sure,” replied Bob, who knew his parents would not object.
“I’ll go along,” added Ned. “I was just wishing we could have some kind of an outing. I was thinking of Florida again.”
