It did not take long to make it.
"All aboard!" cried the big boy, when the raft had been finished. "All
aboard! Come on!" He picked up the Lamb again, and walked out on the
raft. The smaller boy went with his chum. With long poles, cut from a
near-by tree, the boys shoved the raft out into the middle of the brook.
"Now we're a Noah's Ark!" laughed the small boy, "and we have one animal
with us--a woolly Lamb on Wheels!"
And down the brook Mirabell's toy went sailing with the two boys on the
raft.
"This is certainly surprising!" thought the Lamb. "I was bought by a
sailor, and here I am making a voyage! I hope I shall not be seasick!"
CHAPTER IX
ON A LOAD OF WOOD
Now while the Lamb on Wheels was being carried away by the dog, and
after she had been dropped in the lot, where she was picked up by the
boys and put on a Noah's Ark raft--while all this was happening to the
toy, Mirabell, the little girl who owned the Lamb, was almost heart-
broken. After she had admired the trunk Dorothy had had given to her for
the Sawdust Doll, Mirabell ran back to get her pet toy.
