"Nicknack a funny goat!" laughed Trouble, as his brother set him down on a smooth place in the snow.
"I guess Trouble thinks it was all just for fun," said Tom. "He isn't scared a bit."
"Oh, Trouble doesn't get scared very easy," answered Jan. "He's always laughing. Aren't you, Trouble?" and she hugged him.
"Well, shall we build the house over again?" asked Tom, when Ted had taken the goat back to the stable and fastened him in so he could not easily get loose.
"It'll be a lot of work," said Lola. "You'll have to make a whole new one."
"Yes, Nicknack didn't leave much of it," agreed Tom. "Shall we make a bigger one, Ted—big enough for Nicknack to get in without breaking the walls?"
"Oh, I don't know," returned Ted slowly. "There isn't much snow left, and some of the boards are busted. Let's make a snow man instead."
"All right!" agreed Tom. "We'll do that! We'll make a big one."
"I don't want to do that," said Jan. "Come on, Lola, let's go coasting."
"An' take me!" begged Trouble.
