But that was a silly question, and they all laughed at her. Laddie grew suddenly excited.
"Oh! I know a new riddle!" he cried. "It's a good riddle!"
"What is it?" asked his twin sister.
"It isn't a good riddle just because you made it up, Laddie," said Rose.
"It would be a good one no matter who made it up," answered Laddie decidedly. "You let me tell it. I know it's good."
"What is it, Laddie?" Russ Bunker asked.
"Here is the riddle," said Laddie eagerly. "What sort of wing has no feathers on it? And the answer is, of course, 'A pigeon wing.' There! Isn't that a fine riddle?"
"Pooh!" said Vi. "I don't think so."
"Some pigeons' wings have feathers," said Rose.
"Hoh!" cried Laddie, somewhat disturbed. "That one Russ was trying to make doesn't have any feathers on it."
