Sammy and Bobby were safe in the tree, so they did not try to run away.
They heard some one talking and they looked to see who it was.
They saw two children and a man.
The man had an axe in his hand.
The two children ran along the path, talking and laughing.
They were looking at all the evergreen trees.
"This is a good one," said the little boy.
"This is a better one," said the girl, and she pointed right at the little pine tree where Sammy and Bobby were hiding.
"They are going to cut down this tree," whispered Sammy. "What shall we do? What shall we do?"
But the man did not cut down the tree.
