"Good-bye, Kitchen People," said Mary Frances, "I wish I could take you all."
"Good-bye," cried the Kitchen People; "hope you'll have a lovely time!"
"I'd be scared," said Sauce Pan, glancing at Coffee Pot. "Who knows what's in the woods?" And as Mary Frances closed the door, he was singing:
"'If polar bears were everywheres,
And leopards came to tea,
And fearful bats and gnawing gnats
All came to eat with me,
And giant snakes ate all the cakes,
What a "picnic" that would be!'"
"Boo!!!"
