CHAPTER IV
Kernel Cob and Sweetclover went down and down and down through the sky from the Moon.
And after they had gone down and down and down a long time Sweetclover suddenly cried:
"What's that?" and pointed below. "It's like a great ball turning round and round."
"It looks like another Moon with the lights out."
"It's the Earth!" cried Sweetclover with delight, for she could now see the tops of trees as the sun began to show his golden head above the hills in the East. And little by little, as Kernel Cob and Sweetclover neared the Earth, they could see rivers and lakes and steeples and houses and after awhile, people and horses in the fields.
And down, down, down they came, getting nearer and nearer and nearer until they saw, beneath their very feet, a great tall house with sails on it going round and round at a rapid rate, and, before you could say, "Look out!" Kernel Cob was caught in one of the sails and dashed to the ground.
"Are you hurt?" asked Sweetclover sitting on the ground where she had been thrown.
