"Come on up, it's fine up here," she called.
Bob quickly followed her and a moment later Edith joined them.
Pausing there for a few minutes, they climbed over into another mow and looked out through a window on the side of the barn.
"Why, we can get on the roof from here," said Ruth.
"Yes," said Bob, "we can."
"Let's go out then," she said.
"But you might slide off," warned Bob.
"No danger of that," replied Ruth; "we've got our sneakers on."
So he crawled through the window and standing on the roof first helped
Ruth and then Edith through.
"It isn't as steep as it looks from the ground, and I'm going on up to the top," said Ruth.
