"What sort of holes?" asked Janet.
"Holes where a fox lives," answered her brother. "If we could find a fox maybe we could tame it."
"Wouldn't it bite?" the little girl asked.
"Well, maybe a little bit at first, but not after it got tame," said
Teddy. "Come on!"
They walked a little way farther, and then Jan suddenly cried:
"Oh, I see a hole!"
She pointed to one beneath the roots of a big tree.
"That's a fox den, I guess!" exclaimed Teddy. "We'll watch and see what comes out."
The children hid in the bushes where they could look at the hole in the ground. For some time they waited, and then they began to get tired. The Curlytops were not used to keeping still.
"I'm going to sneeze!" said Trouble suddenly, and sneeze he did. And just then a little brown animal bounced out from under a bush and ran into the hole.
