THE LITTLE PRAIRIE DOGS AND
OLD MR. WOLF
I.
Once upon a time, three fat little prairie dogs lived together in a nice deep burrow, where they were quite safe and warm and snug.
These little prairie dogs had very queer names. One was Jump, another was Bump, and another was Thump.
Well, they lived very happily together until one day Jump said, “I believe I would rather live up on top of the ground than in this burrow.”
“I believe I would, too,” said Bump.
“I believe I would!” said Thump. “I’ll tell you what we can do! Let us each build a house!”
“Let us!” cried Jump and Bump, and away they all scampered up out of the burrow.
