[Illustration: Lamb On Wheels Tells Sawdust Doll of Her Troubles]
And while Mirabell was looking at the new trunk for the Sawdust Doll's
clothes, a big dog came running along the street. He saw the white,
woolly Lamb near the curbstone.
"Oh, ho! Maybe that is good to eat!" thought the dog. And before the
Lamb on Wheels could say a word, that dog just picked her up in his
mouth and carried her away as a mother cat carries her little ones. Yes,
the big dog carried away the Lamb on Wheels!
CHAPTER VIII
SAILING DOWN THE BROOK
The Lamb on Wheels was so frightened when the dog took her up in his
mouth that she did not know what to do. If she could, she would have
rolled away as fast as a toy railroad train, such a train as Arnold and
Dick played with. But the dog had the Lamb in his mouth before she knew
what was happening.
Besides, across the street was a man, and, as he happened to be looking
at the Lamb, of course she dared not make believe come to life and
trundle along as she sometimes did in the toy store.
