"There you are, Sunny Boy," said Mrs. Dunlap gaily, turning him around
and around gently, three times. "Now you are ready to try your luck."

Sunny Boy tried to remember where the donkey was pinned. He walked
forward slowly, taking queer little short steps. When your eyes are

donkey's tail on it and made a quick jab. He was sure he had reached
