"The days are
getting shorter and the nights longer. It will soon be too cold to
live in a tent on Star Island."
"Oh, Grandpa!" And Jan looked sad.
"But we want to have fun!" cried Ted.
"Oh, I guess you'll have fun," said his mother. "You always do every
winter."
And the children did. In the next volume of this series, to be called
"The Curlytops Snowed In; or, Grand Fun with Skates and Sleds," you
may read about the good times they had when they went back home.
"Come on, Jan, we'll have a last ride with Nicknack!" called Ted to
his sister about a week after the meteor had been dug up. In a few
days the Curlytops were to leave their camp on Star Island. Hal
Chester had gone back to his home, promising to visit his friends
again some day.
"I'm coming!" cried Jan.
"Me, too!" added Trouble. "I wants a wide!"
Into the goat cart they piled and off started Nicknack, waggling his
funny, stubby tail, for he enjoyed the children as much as they did
him.
"Hurray!" yelled Ted. "Isn't this fun?" and he cracked the whip in the
air.
"Hurray!" yelled Jan and Trouble.
"Baa-a-a-a!" bleated Nicknack. That was his way of cheering.
And so we will leave the Curlytops and say good-bye.
