"Baa-a-a-a-!" was what the Rabbit and the Monkey heard.
"Was that you?" asked the Monkey of the Rabbit.
"I was just going to ask if you had called," said the Rabbit.
"Baa-a-a-a-a!" came again.
"It sounds like the Lamb on Wheels," said the Candy Rabbit.
"Oh, it can't be," said the Monkey. "She'd come in to see us. Who do you suppose it is?"
"Baa-a-a-a-a!" sounded again, and then a funny black nose, followed by a head with curving horns on it, was thrust into the tent.
"This isn't the Lamb!" cried the Monkey.
"Indeed I'm not a Lamb!" was the answer. "I'm a Billy Goat! Baa-a! Baa-a-a-a! What's going on here?" he bleated.
"We're going to have a show," said the Monkey. "I am going to be in it, and so is the Candy Rabbit."
