“I know something I shan’t tell,
Three little nuts in a pea-nut shell.”
“He knows where our caps are,” cried the twins. “O Ma, make him tell! O Pa, make him tell!”
Then Humpty Dumpty led the twins to the window and pointed to the caps lying under the maple tree.
It had rained the night before and the caps were wet.
The twins were in such a hurry to get to school that they put on their wet caps and ran merrily along, and Humpty Dumpty forgot all about wishing to ride in a cart and ran merrily after them.
When they reached the school all the children set up a shout.
Teddie’s face was all streaked with red, and Freddie’s face was all streaked with red.
The water from their wet caps had run down their cheeks.
