“Oh, Blinkie! Here I am!” shouted Winkie. “Don’t you know me? I’ve come back. Here I am!”
The woodchuck at the edge of the burrow gave a whistle and a chatter. Three other ground-hogs came rushing out.
[“Winkie! It’s my Winkie!” cried Mrs. Woodchuck.]
“Oh, Mother!” sobbed Winkie. “How glad I am to be home again! Oh, such adventures as I’ve had! But now I’m home!”
Winkie had found her folks again! And she lived happily with them until, as a grown-up woodchuck, she went away to make her own home in her own burrow.
