I wish you could hear all the things Betty, Peggy, and little Dot did on
the farm. It would take a great, big book to hold the story; and this is
a little book for little folks.
At last the summer vacation was over. The three little girls and the two
mothers had to leave their friends on the farm and go back to the city.
The little girls said good-bye to every living thing on the place--to
the little pet rooster, to Red Chief, to the Speckle family, and to
Mrs. Black Hen and her children who were now almost grown and had whole
suits of clothes on. They said good-bye to Brown Betty and her children.
They went to the pasture and said good-bye to Bonny-Belle, Bess, and
Buttercup, and to frisky little Don. They even stood at the fence and
waved good-bye to bad Big Ben.
Then the two mothers and the three little girls said good-bye to Mrs.
White and Billy and Molly and last of all to dear little Mary, who
promised to come and visit them at Christmas time.
"Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye!" they called as Mr. White tucked them
into the automobile and drove away. "We've had a happy, happy summer!"
When they reached the city, little Dot's father was at the station to
meet them.
