SNOWBALL LAMB
A
CHAPTER IX.
Circu Tricks.
Johnnie Green had beet to the cir
cut. And of course he wanted to
try good many trick that he had
learned there. At first he made old
dog Sport perform for him. But
Again Snowball Answered,
'Baa-a-a!
when he attempted to get Spot to
jump through a hoop of fire, the old
dog refused flatly to play any more.
That was why Johnme went to the
pasture and brought Snowball back
to the farmyard.
"Now Snowball," said Johnnie
Green, "I've been to the circus and
seen ever so many kind of trained
animals horses and elephants and
dogs and monkeys and seal. Rut I
didn't sec any trained lamb. If you
pay attention and Icarn what I try
to teach you maybe you and I can
join the circus next year."
Snowball Lamb answered "Baa-a-a!"
"All right!" cried Johnnie. "Now
you just jump through this wooden
hoop!"
But it didn't prove to be as easy
a all that. Johnnie Green had to
work a long, long time before he
succeeded at last in teaching Snow
ball to obey him. And then, after
Snowball jumped through the hoop
in as graceful a manner at anybody
could have asked for, Johnnie wa
not quite satisfied.
You 11 have to learn to jump
through a paper hoop if we're going
to be taken along with the circus,"
he told Snowball.
Again Snowball answered Baa-
a-a 1"
"All rieht!" said Johnnie. "I'll
make some paper hoops. And to
morrow we'll see what you can do."
So back to the pasture went snow
ball. And into the woodshed went
Johnnie Green. And there he stayed
all the rest of the afternoon. He laid
newspaper down upon the floor and
trimmed them neatly with hi moth
er s shears. He made flour paste
in the kitchen. And when milking
time came he had four fine hoops all
covered with newspapers.
Johnnie wanted to make one more
Hut his father came along and hap
pened to pick up a barrel stave, re
marking that it was just the thing
to make a boy jump to his work, so
Johnnie decided, for some reason or
other, that four hoops would b
enough to practice with. Of course
when he and Snowball joined the cir
cus they would need dozens of hoops,
But the wasn't really any hurry
about that. .
So he went for a milk pail and trot
ted off to the barn, where he sat
down on his three-legged stool and
began milking the Muley Cow.
He couldn't help thinking as he
sat there and sent streams of hilk
tinkling down upon the bottom of the
tin pail, what a fine scheme it would
be to build a hoop big enough for
the Muley Cow to jump through. It
Ought to be easy to teach her. For
everybody knew that the wa a fa
mous jumper. She made more
trouble, jumping the fence, than all
the rest of Farmer Green s herd.
Johnnie Green got to thinking ao
intently about the matter that he be
gan to df.wdie. And if there was one
thing that the Muley Cow didn't like
it was to have to stand still while
a slow milker puttered at his work
So she suddenly gave her tail a
