Janet felt that this was kind on Teddy's part, but still she did not quite like what he said about the pony.
"Is he going to be all yours?" she asked.
"Well, didn't I find him?''
"Yes, but when I found a penny once and bought a lollypop, I gave you half of it."
"Yes, you did," admitted Teddy, thinking of that time. "But I can't give you half the pony, can I?"
"No, I guess not. But you could let me ride on him."
"Oh, I'll do that!" exclaimed Teddy quickly. He was thinking it would be a hard matter to divide a live pony in half.
"Course I'll let you ride on him!" he went on. "We'll get Uncle Frank to let us have a saddle and some of the cowboys can teach us to ride. And I'll let you feed and water him as much as you like. I'm going to call him Clipclap."
"That's a funny name," remarked Janet.
"It's how his feet sound when he runs," explained Teddy. "Don't you know—clip-clap, clip-clap!" and he imitated the sound of a pony as best he could.
