The Roly-Poly family stayed with the circus for a month, and they went from place to place.
One night Humpty Dumpty crept out of bed and he whispered something to Freddie, and Freddie whispered something to Teddie, and the twins whispered something to Mama and Papa, and then the whole Roly-Poly family were awake.
What do you suppose the whole family were whispering about?
They were all tired of the circus, and wished to go home.
“How can we find the way home?” asked Mama Roly-Poly.
“How can we get out of the tent?” asked Freddie.
Papa Roly-Poly said, “Follow me, and don’t make any noise!”
If the Roly-Polys had not been able to roll they surely would have made a noise and waked some one up.
They rolled softly out of bed and softly under the wall of the tent and soon they were out in the moonlight.
