gave a jump! Oh, such a jump!

Off his stick he jumped, and he landed right on the Goat's back. With
his hands the Monkey began to pull the Goat's hair.

He even reached around and pulled the Goat's whiskers, the Monkey did.

"Baa-a-a-a-a!" bleated the Goat. "Stop, Monkey! You're hurting me!
You're pulling my hair!"

"Then get out of this tent and leave the Candy Rabbit alone!" shouted
the Monkey.

"No! I want sweet stuff!" bleated the bad Goat.

Then the Monkey jumped off the Goat's back, and, catching up the stick,
on which he climbed to the top when the string was pulled, the Monkey
began hitting the Goat over the nose with it.

"Oh, my nose! My soft and tender nose!" bleated the Goat, as he ran out
of the tent.

"Thank you, so much, for saving me," said the Rabbit to the Monkey, as
the likely chap climbed back on his stick.

"I am very glad I could help you," said the Monkey. "I guess that Goat
won't come back in a hurry!"

And as the Groat ran out of the tent, the children, bringing up their
other toys to have the show, saw him.

She and the other children hurried into the tent. There were the Monkey
and the Rabbit safe together. But the children did not know what a

his Bold Tin Soldier and the other men in the army company; Dick had
brought his White Rocking Horse; and Dorothy's Sawdust Doll and
Mirabell's Lamb on Wheels were also in the tent. Of course Herbert's
Monkey and Madeline's Candy Rabbit were the first to be in the show.

"Now the performance is going to start!" cried Herbert, when the
brothers and sisters were seated on the benches, which were made from
the boxes Patrick, the gardener, had given Dick. "The show is going to
start! All ready!"

Besides the six children mentioned there were others who lived on the
same street with these six friends. These children had all come to the
show. The boys and girls brought two pins to get in. Those who brought
toy animals to act in the show did not have to bring any pins to come
in.

"The first act in the show!" called Herbert, who was the ringmaster,
"will be Mr. Dick riding on his White Rocking Horse! Ladies and
Gentlemen, see Mr. Dick!"

"Hurray! H
