"Oh, that's too bad," said Jumpo. "Come up here and I will put some stuff on to make it better."
"I can't climb that high tree," said Buddy, sad like.
"No more you can!" exclaimed Jumpo. "Wait a minute."
So Jumpo let down a basket fastened to a string and Buddy got in it—I mean he got in the basket, not the string, you understand, of course. Then Jumpo pulled him up.
"Now let's see where that mosquito bite is," said the monkey boy, and Buddy showed him. "I should say it was a big one!" cried Jumpo. "That needs some witch hazel on it right away."
Well, Jumpo put a lot of witch hazel on the bite, but that only seemed to make it worse.
"I know what's good for it," said Buddy. "It's some stuff my mamma uses."
"What is it?" asked Jumpo.
"Talcum powder," replied the guinea pig. "It's a white, smooth powder, and it comes in a tin box and smells nice."
"What smells, the powder or the box?" asked Jumpo.
