"Oh, yes, we can do it that way," assented Vi. So the two little girls ran to get the clothesline and soon they were jumping rope.
"It's lots of fun," said Vi, when it was her turn to have "three slow—pepper," while Rose turned, the other end of the rope being fast to a tree.

MUN BUN IN A HOLE
While Rose turned, Vi jumped, and the little girl was getting along nicely when she tripped, or the rope caught on her foot, and stopped.
"Now it's my turn!" exclaimed Rose. "You missed, and you have to turn for me."
"You made me trip!" exclaimed Vi. "You gave me the pepper before I was ready."
"You said to give you 'three slow—pepper,' and I did," declared Rose.
I suppose you girls who jump rope know what "three slow—pepper" means, but the boys probably will not, so I'll explain.
