88 <strong>Four</strong> Little <strong>Blossoms</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>Brookside</strong> <strong>Farm</strong><br />
A shriek from Dot startled them all.<br />
"I saw a snake!" she cried, running to Meg.<br />
"A horrid, nasty <strong>little</strong> green one. <strong>And</strong> now Fve<br />
lost my flowers!"<br />
Sure enough, the bouquet she had been picking<br />
was sc<strong>at</strong>tered in all directions.<br />
"Don't you care," Meg comforted her. "It<br />
was only a baby w<strong>at</strong>er snake. Aunt Polly told<br />
Mother th<strong>at</strong>'s the only kind th<strong>at</strong> lives round<br />
here. Honestly, snakes are all right, Dot. Lots<br />
of people don't mind 'em a bit."<br />
"Well, I do," said Dot decidedly. "They<br />
wiggle so.<br />
Let's go home anyway."<br />
"I think we'd better," announced Bobby. "I<br />
don't know wh<strong>at</strong> time it is, but I guess there's<br />
no use looking for the raft any more."<br />
"The raft?" echoed Meg. "Oh Bobby,<br />
where is<br />
the brook?"<br />
Bobby grinned a <strong>little</strong> sheepishly.<br />
"We forgot about the raft, didn't we?" he<br />
said. "Let's see—we came down th<strong>at</strong> p<strong>at</strong>h<br />
the brook must be over there. Come on, Dot,<br />
we're going home."<br />
Dot s<strong>at</strong> down on the ground and began to cry.
