"
So that is why the man was driving his horse down through the lot--to
give his horse a drink. The man climbed down off his wagon and walked
toward the brook, right at the place where the raft had gone ashore with
the Lamb on board.
"I wonder if this can be the junkman who carried the Sawdust Doll away
in his wagon," thought the Lamb. "If it is I am in for another
adventure!"
As the man came to look at the brook, to see if the water was clean
enough for his horse to drink, the man saw the raft.
"Oh, ho! There are some good boards and planks I can carry home to break
up for kindling wood," said the man. "That's what I'll do. I'll have
some good firewood from these boards! Or maybe I can sell some." Then he
came nearer and saw the Lamb.
"Well, I do declare!" the man cried. "There is a white woolly Lamb toy!
I must take that, too, though I don't know what I can do with it. Maybe
I can sell it. I am in luck to-day, getting a load of wood and a toy.
Now come on, Dobbin!" he called to his horse. "The brook is nice and
clean for you to drink from, and while you are drinking I will load the
wood on my wagon and take the Lamb on Wheels.
