They called him Watermelon -Pete because his mouth was -just the shape of a <i>big</i>, slice of <i>ripe</i> -watermelon.</p> - -<p>One night when old Mr. Moon -was looking in Watermelon Pete’s -window, and shining so bright -that he couldn’t go to sleep at <i>all</i>, -all at once he began to feel hungry. -And he said, “Oh, dear, I wish I -had a nice <i>big</i> piece of watermelon -to eat!” -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">12</span></p> - -<p class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/i_012.jpg" alt="" /></p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">13</span></p> - -<p>And then a naughty little -Blackie, who was sitting on Watermelon -Pete’s bedpost, just <i>hoping</i> -that he would want to get out of -bed and get into mischief, said, “I -know where there are some watermelons. -Farmer Brown has some -down in his watermelon patch.”</p> - -<p>And Watermelon Pete <i>listened</i> -to what the naughty little Blackie -said, and then he <i>crawled</i> out of -bed, and ran, oh, so fast, down to -the fence, and <i>scrooged</i> through a -hole in the fence, and ran—pitter-patter, -with his little bare black -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">14</span> -feet—down the path to the watermelon -vines.</p> - -<p>Then he ate, and he ate, and -he <i>ate</i>, so many watermelons!

They said they -would be pleased to do it, and so -they got some balls of wool and -began knitting so busily with their -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">41</span> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_42">42</span> -shiny knitting needles, click, click! -click, click! that pretty soon -there they were, four nice long new -stockings, one for each foot.</p> - -<p class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/i_041.jpg" alt="" /></p> - -<p>Then Daddy Elephant paid for -the stockings and put them on -Baby Elephant.

Just as soon -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">43</span> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">44</span> -as you get one thing you think of -something else.

But if you will -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">45</span> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_46">46</span> -take a seat and wait, I will call -my Tiger shoemakers, and have -some made for him.”</p> - -<p class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/i_045.jpg" alt="" /></p> - -<p>So they waited patiently while -the Tiger shoemakers made some -shoes. “Tip-a-tap, tip-a-tap, tip-a-tap-too!” -went the hammers, -until pretty soon there they were, -four nice new red shoes with one -for each foot.</p> - -<p>Then Daddy paid Mrs. Tiger -for them, and put them on and -buttoned them up, and Baby -Elephant said, “My! These are -lovely new shoes, Daddy, and I -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_47">47</span> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_48">48</span> -thank you, but now I look so nice, -shouldn’t I have a hat?”</p> - -<p class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/i_047.jpg" alt="" /></p> - -<p>And Daddy Elephant laughed -and said, “Well, you <i>are</i> a funny -little Baby Elephant.

Have you your -new spring hats in? My little -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">49</span> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">50</span> -Baby thinks he’d like a hat.”</p> - -<p class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/i_049.jpg" alt="" /></p> - -<p>And Mrs. Monkey said that -she didn’t believe she had a hat -that would quite fit Baby Elephant, -because they were very -small this season, but that she -would make him one. So she sent -her little Monkeys out into the -Jungle, and pretty soon they came -back with some palm-tree leaves. -And she sewed them into the -prettiest hat you ever saw.</p> - -<p>But Baby Elephant wanted -trimming on his hat. So she found -some ribbon grass, and made some -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_51">51</span> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">52</span> -bows, and rosettes, and put them -on and Daddy Elephant paid her -for it, and they started out again.</p> - -<p class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/i_051.jpg" alt="" /></p> - -<p>Then Baby Elephant laughed. -“Daddy, don’t I look funny with -my stockings and shoes and nice -new hat, and no coat on?”</p> - -<p>And Daddy said, “Oh, you -funny baby! Well, come along, -and we’ll see if we can find you -a coat.” And they walked <i>and</i> -walked, and <i>nobody</i> could make a -coat until they came to where the -Tailor Bird lived.
