“I’m going to help catch that goat,” answered Teddy.
“Oh, maybe he’ll butt you!” exclaimed Janet.
“No, he won’t do that,” went on Ted. “That goat knows me, and he don’t know that man. That’s why he’s scared, I guess.”
“Is the man scared?” asked Janet, as she saw him chasing around after the goat.
“No, but I guess Nicknack is,” answered Teddy. “I’ve got to help catch him so he won’t be scared. You stay here with Trouble,” and he led his sister and Baby William to a place near a corner of the barnyard fence where he thought nothing could hurt them.
“I wants to come wif you!” begged Trouble, as Teddy started off.
“No, you stay with sister and I’ll give you a nice ride in the goat wagon when brother makes it,” promised Janet.
“I wants a wide now,” said Trouble, as he watched the goat running, “I ’ikes to wide fast.”
“Not as fast as that, I guess,” replied Teddy, with a laugh, for Nicknack was fairly flying around the barnyard. “You’d fall off, Trouble, and bump your nose.”
Baby William didn’t want anything like that to happen, so he did not again ask to ride on the goat.
