For a long time nobody spoke and pretty soon a little breeze swayed
Kernel Cob over toward Sweetclover and he said:

"Let's try to find Jackie and Peggs' motheranfather. Let us pray to
the fairies that something will come along to help us."

"Good!" said Sweet clover, and they prayed and prayed and prayed.

And just then a great wind came and raised the parasol from the
ground, and the hook of the handle caught in Kernel Cob's belt and
pulled him up with it and Sweetclover was just in time to catch hold
of him as he sailed away. And Jackie and Peggs sat upon the grass and
cried because they had lost their little dolls.

CHAPTER III


And the parasol went up and up in the sky all the afternoon, and, try
as he would, Kernel Cob could not get it to stop.

"I wonder what the fairies are sending us up here for?" shouted Kernel
Cob.
