I just wish you could have had some of that cherry pie, but of course you couldn't, for there wasn't any left. Then pretty soon the monkey boys and Sammie went outside to play football again. And, all of a sudden, as Jumpo kicked the ball, it bounced on Sammie's nose and made it bleed.
Oh, how that poor rabbit boy's nose did bleed. He cried and cried again, and Susie and his mamma, the muskrat lady housekeeper, Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy, came running out. They did all they could for him, such as putting a cold key down his back and making him chew paper, and they even put some paper under his upper lip, but it did no good, for the nose still bled.
"We must send for Dr. Possum at once," said Mrs. Littletail. "He will have to come in a hurry to stop the bleeding."
"Oh, if we only had our automobile, we could go very quickly," said Jacko, but they didn't have it.
"Oh, I'm so sorry; it was my fault," exclaimed Jumpo. "I will run for Dr. Possum."
"You never can run fast enough," exclaimed Mrs. Littletail. "Why, even an airship wouldn't be quick enough. Oh! What shall I do? Sammie may bleed to death."
"Wait, I have an idea," cried Susie. "Why can't Jacko go for the doctor in Sammie's toy train of cars?"
"In a toy train of cars?" exclaimed Jacko.
"Yes, the engine is very big and strong, and it runs very fast. Just hitch one car to it and go for Dr. Possum."
"But doesn't that engine have to run on a track?" asked Jumpo.
