The Blue-Button Twins

What Happened When They Took a Snowball Ride 

By Helene Nyce 

THE twins were very excited and very busy.
 "Sister," said Bobby, " we will roll and roll this ball until it is as large as a house, and then we will get shovels and dig it out."

"Yes," interrupted Susie, "and we will live in it forever; maybe Tommy Kirby will come with us too."

But the sudden appearance of Flopsy and Tinktum Tidy with the twins' Christmas sled stopped all plans and filled their heads with another idea.

"Jump on, Sister!"You must have the first coast because you're a lady!" cried Bobby. Then, as she started her downward flight: "Oh! oh! oh!" he shouted, "why didn't I think? Sister should have had the first roll; it's lots better than a sled. But I can/t call her back now." So he clambered on himself.

The pictures on this page will finish the story for you, and I am sure you will never attempt a snowball ride.
