“Oh, won’t we!” agreed Tom, dancing up and down. “And Ted, I’ve got a secret!”
“You have? What is it?”
“I know where your dog Skyrocket is!”
CHAPTER XIII
CATCHING FISH
What Tom told Teddy as the two boys danced around on the railroad station platform was the second surprise of the day for the Curlytops. The first was in seeing the two Taylor children who had come to visit them at Sunnyside. And the second was when Tom said:
“I know where Skyrocket is!”
Of course that was enough to make Ted and Janet open their eyes very wide and look closely at their little friend.
“Did you bring Skyrocket with you?” asked Janet eagerly.
“Oh, no. I couldn’t do that,” explained Tom. “Anyhow, a man had him. He was a gypsy man, and he had Skyrocket in a red wagon with a lot of looking-glass on the outside. I mean the wagon had looking-glass on the outside—not Skyrocket.”
“I know that!” cried Ted. “I’ve seen gypsy wagons before. But go on! Tell me about Skyrocket! Where is he?”
