"I guess he wants more," Janet said as the sick animal sucked up the last drops from Teddy's hat. "It wasn't very much."
"We'll get more!" Teddy decided. "Then we'll go for a doctor."
"Where'll we find one?" Janet asked.
"I know where to find him," Teddy answered.
Once more the children went back to the spring and again they filled their soft hats. And once more the pony greedily drank up the last drops of water. As he finished that in Ted's hat he dropped back again and stretched out as if very tired.
"Oh, I hope he doesn't die!" exclaimed Janet.
"So do I," added her brother. "I'd like to have a ride on him when he gets well. Come on, we'll go find the doctor."
Shaking the water drops from their hats the Curlytops put them on and went out of the cave into the sunlight. Led by Teddy, Janet followed to the top of the pile of rocks.
"Do you see that white house over there?" asked Teddy, pointing to one down the road that led past the buildings of Ring Rosy Ranch.
"Yes, I see it," Janet answered.
