And Mr. Lambikin, curled up in his soft warm nest, replied:
“Fallen into the fire, and so will you
On, little Drumikin. Tum-pa, tum-too!”
“How very annoying!” sighed the eagle, thinking regretfully of the tender morsel he had let slip.
Meanwhile Lambikin trundled along, laughing to himself, and singing:
“Tum-pa, tum-too;
Tum-pa, tum-too!”
Every animal and bird he met asked him the same question:
“Drumikin! Drumikin!
Have you seen Lambikin?”
