"Dear me! You don't say so!" cried Tilly Toad, as she stood her broom in the corner and started down the path. "I will hop down and see him!" she said.
"I will hop back with you, Tilly!" said Timothy Toad.
They had not hopped far before they met Eddie Elf, who was singing happily to himself as he walked along. "Willie Woodchuck is whittling on a rattle!" he said, when the two Toads stopped him.
"We are hopping back to see him," said Tilly and Timothy Toad. "I will go back with you!" said Eddie Elf.
They had not gone far until they met Gerty Gartersnake, singing away very happily. "Willie Woodchuck is whittling on a beautiful red and black rattle!" said Gerty Gartersnake.
"We are going back to see him!" said Tilly and Timothy Toad and Eddie Elf.
"Then I will go back with you!" said Gerty Gartersnake.
They had not gone far until they met Wallie Woodpecker, who also was singing happily. "Willie Woodchuck is whittling on a rattle and it is blue, red and black and rattles beautifully."
"We are going back to see him!" said Tilly and Timothy Toad and Eddie Elf and Gerty Gartersnake.
"Then I will go back with you!" said Wallie Woodpecker.
