Curly-Tail was so excited he did not know what to do. He ran into the tent and cried, “Pedro, our dear lost Pedro.”
Pedro could hardly believe his eyes when he saw Curly-Tail, but he cried,
“Tho’ you know my name’s not Polly,
To talk loudly would be folly.”
They began to talk and plan about getting Pedro home.
Just then Tangle-Tail came into the tent, and said they must get a cage, and there was no time to lose as the Circus people were coming into the tent.
Then Tangle-Tail thought of an old dog-skin he had. He said they would wrap it around Pedro, and take him in it down the road.
They did this, Pedro scolding all the while.
All would have gone well I am sure, if they had not met Sly Foot.
