The Story

Of A Bit Of Mischief And

What Came Of It

Wee Peter Pug

My Dame has lost her shoe and knows not where to find it.

 

ow if you had seen the eager smile on the face of Wee Peter Pug you might have suspected that he had something to do with the loss of Dame’s shoe—and you would have been right. What pup could have resisted such a nice red fluffy shoe?

and hid it behind the lawn roller.

 

 

Feeling very proud, Wee Peter trotted off to tell his chum, Nigger, the black kitten, all about his little joke. “What do you think I’ve done?” he cried.

“I’ve hidden the Dame’s shoe!”

“I’ve hidden the Dame’s shoe,” said Peter.

Mrs. Duck quacked uproariously.

“I’ve never heard anything so funny!” she declared.

Mrs. Duck waddled ashore. “We must tell somebody else,” said she.

 

 

At that moment Billy Rabbit poked his inquisitive nose through the hedge.
