"'Member the time he made a cake when we were camping with grandpa on Star Island?" asked Janet of Ted.
"I guess I do!" he laughed. "The dough was all over everything!"
"Well, let's try it again now," said Uncle Frank to Daddy Martin, when they had had some hot coffee. "We've got to get out to the barn, somehow."
"Yes," agreed the father of the Curlytops. "I don't want the horse and cow to be hungry or thirsty. I hope the water in the barn isn't frozen. If it is we'll have to carry some from the house."
"And that might freeze on the way out," said Uncle Frank.
"You could take a pail of hot water and that wouldn't freeze," Teddy remarked.
"Our horse or cow couldn't drink hot water," objected Janet.
"Well, they could wait for it to cool just as we do for our hot milk sometimes."
"Yes, they could do that," agreed Janet. "Oh, I wish we could go out in our bungalow!"
"Don't dare try it!" cried Daddy Martin. "If you children went out in the snow you might not get back until your ears and fingers were frost-bitten, to say the least."
