And then, all of a sudden, there was a noise out in the kitchen. Susie screamed and cried:
"Oh, dear! Oh, dear! He'll get me! He'll get me!"
"Run quick!" cried Jacko to Mugsie Smugsie. So they ran out, and there was the burglar fox getting ready to jump at Susie. Somehow or other the fox had managed to pull himself up the tree in the basket, the rope of which Jacko had forgotten to take in after Susie was raised up by it.
"Now I'm going to have a good dinner!" cried the fox, smacking his lips.
"No, you're not, either!" yelled Jacko, and then and there he caught up the big dishpan full of water and threw it at the fox--threw the water, not the dishpan, you understand. And that fox in an instant was as wet as if he'd fallen into a mill pond, and he was so scared and frightened and alarmed and astonished and ker-slostered that he slid down the rope so fast that he burned his tongue.
Then the fox ran away, taking his tail with him, and that's how he didn't hurt Susie, and I think Jacko and Mugsie Smugsie were very brave to drive him away.
And pretty soon all the housework was done and the children could go down and play, and in a little while Mrs. Kinkytail's headache was all better, and she got up.
Mrs. Kinkytail was very thankful to Jacko when she found what he had done, and this teaches us that monkey boys are sometimes as good as girls about doing housework. Mr. Kinkytail, too, was proud of his little son, and he said he would take the whole family to the moving pictures as a treat.
"Oh, that will be jolly!" cried Jacko, and Jumpo said the same thing.
Then they all went to the show, and in the next story, if the--. Oh!
there I go again! I forgot that I have in this book all the stories it will hold, so if I make any more I'll have to put them in another.
And the next Bed Time book will be called "Curley and Floppy Twistytail," and the stories will be about some cute little pigs. Curley is the name of one and Floppy of the other. And they did the funniest things you ever heard about!
So just please wait for that book, which will be ready for you before very long. I hope you will like it. And now I'll say good-bye for a time.
THE END.
