Puff-ball and His Friends

Puff-ball has no father, no mother and no friends. One day he goes to find some friends.

He walks on and on. At last he meets a mouse.

The mouse says: "Good day, Puff-ball! Please take me with you!"

"And who are you?"

"I'm Mufti-tufty Mouse."

"Then come with me."

So Puff-ball and Mufti-tufty Mouse walk on and on. At last they meet a frog.

"And who are you?"

"I'm Bully, the frog."

"Then come with us!"

So Puff-ball walks on and on with Mufti-tufty Mouse and Bully, the frog. And at last they meet a hare.

"And who are you?"

"I am Jack, the hare."

"Then come with us."

So Puff-ball walks on and on with Mufti-tufty Mouse, and Bully, the frog, and Jack, the hare. At last they meet a wolf.

"Good day! Please take me with you! You are four and I am alone," says the wolf.

"And who are you?"

"I am Howli-Growly, the wolf."

"Then come with us."

So Puff-ball walks on and on with Mufti-tufty Mouse, Bully, the frog, Jack, the hare, and Howli-Growly, wolf.

At last they meet a bear.

"Good day! Please take me with you! You are five and I am alone," says the bear.

"And who are you?"

"I am Grizzly Bear."

"Then come with us."

So they walk on and on. And they come to a house in the forest. The house is empty.

"Look! What a nice house!" says Puff-ball. "We can live here. The house is big. It is near a lake. Yes, we must live here."

"Good!" say Mufty-tufty Mouse, Bully, the frog, Jack, the hare, Howly-Growly, the wolf, and Grizzly Bear.

And the six friends still live in that house.
