Up jumped Pedro. “I can’t sleep with that fly in my ear! I’ll take a walk!” Down the steps he went. Skippety, skippety, skippety, skippety. He reached the sidewalk. On the sidewalk went his feet. You could hear them as they beat. Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter down the street.
When he came to the end of the block, he started across the street. Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter pat——
“Honk, honk! Look out, look out! Honk, honk!”
Jump-thump! went Pedro’s feet. Jump-jump jump-jump, jump-jump, thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump, jump-jump, jump-jump, jump-jump, pitter patter, pitter patter,—he’d reached the other side! And the auto hadn’t hurt him!
Again on the sidewalk went his feet. You could hear them as they beat pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter down the street.
When he came to the end of this block, he started across the next street.
Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter pat——
“Clopperty, clopperty, clopperty, clopperty! Get out of my way, get out of my way! Clopperty, clopperty, clopperty, clopperty!”
Jump-thump! went Pedro’s feet. Jump-jump jump-jump, jump-jump, thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump, jump-jump, jump-jump, jump-jump, pitter patter, pitter patter,—he’d reached the other side! And the horse hadn’t hurt him either!
Again on the sidewalk went his feet. You could hear them as they beat,—pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter down the street.
