They walk all the way home, heads high, looking very proud and pleased
with themselves.
It's still raining when they get home, but Katrinka didn't get more than a
few drops of rain on her fur coat. She moves out of the way as Dooby
shakes himself real hard, spraying water droplets in all directions.
Dooby and Katrinka have a late breakfast and head for their corners to
take naps.
Circus Adventure
A favorite setting for a children's story is the circus, and following an
alligator that sneaks about the grounds searching for an adventure offers
the listener a sense of involvement.
The circus is in town. All the boys and girls and their mothers and
fathers are excited by the posters and the circus parades along Main
Street.
Abercrombie, the alligator, wants to visit the circus. The morning the
circus opens, Abercrombie rises from his nest in the riverbank mud,
climbs on to his bicycle, and sets off for town. He has lots of friends at
the circus, and they like to have him visit with them.
Abercrombie also has a secret plan, but we won't talk about that yet.
