Sammy Woodchuck caught hold of him and threw him to the ground. Twinkle quickly slipped off the shoe which was badly cut and Winkle pulled off his little white sock.
They all anxiously looked at the toe and to their relief found that it was only cut a very little. In fact it looked as if it had just been scratched.
“We must bind it up with something,” said Sammy Woodchuck.
“Here is my handkerchief,” cried Twinkle.
“Here is mine and it is perfectly clean. Please use it,” urged Winkle.
“I will need both handkerchiefs,” said Sammy Woodchuck.
So he took both handkerchiefs and wound them very neatly around Pinkie Whiskers’ toe and foot.
Pinkie Whiskers felt himself to be quite a hero. His toe did not hurt him any more and he liked all of this sympathy and attention.
CHAPTER IV
PINKIE WHISKERS liked to be a hero so well that he limped about and grunted when he stepped on his foot, even though it did not hurt him. It was so nice to see how sorry everyone looked.
