The twins put Humpty Dumpty into a wheel-barrow, and they put their wet caps by his side and started homeward.
Then they began to count: “One, two, three, four.”
“See that squirrel,” cried Teddie.
“Nine, ten, seven,” said Humpty Dumpty.
“See that robin,” said Freddie.
“Eight, four, sixteen, twelve,” counted Humpty Dumpty.
The children went on counting and talking in the funniest way.
When they got home they found that Papa and Mama had gone away.
