A._ - - FIRST EDITION - - - - - _For_ - TOMMY CHANDLER - -[Illustration] - - -Nappy saw his friend the Trashman coming down the street. - -“Look!” called Nappy, “I have a new airplane--I have lots of airplanes.” - -“Are you collecting airplanes?” asked the trashman. - -“What’s collecting?” asked Nappy. - -“That’s what I’m doing,” said the trashman. “I’m collecting trash.” - -“You have a wagon load,” said Nappy. “Are you going to the dump now? -I’ve been waiting for you to come along. Mother said I could ride with -you if you’ll let me. Will you?” - -“Sure,” said the trashman. “Climb up.” - -[Illustration] - -“Mut wants to go, too.” - -“Let him come,” said the trashman. “That’s where you and I found that -dog, at the town dump, remember?” - -“Yes sir,” said Nappy, “I wanted a dog and you helped me find one. He’s -a good dog, too. And he likes to go to the dump.” - -“Well, here we are,” said the trashman. - -Nappy climbed down off the wagon and started looking around while the -trashman was dumping the trash. And he saw a boy who was doing the same -thing--looking around. - -“Hello,” said Nappy. “Have you found anything?” - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -“I found a brown jug,” said the boy. “It’s cracked, but I can keep -things in it.” - -“I found a tin box,” said Nappy. “It’s dented, but I can collect things -in it.” - -“What’s your name?” - -“Tommy,” said the boy. - -“Well, my name is Nappy. Let’s hunt for things together; it’s more fun -that way.” - -“Look! there’s a wagon wheel,” said Tommy. “I saw it first so it’s -mine.” - -“Finders keepers,” said Nappy. “I see a door knob and here’s a marble. -I’m collecting marbles. I have lots of them.” - -“I bet I have more marbles than you have,” said Tommy. - -“I bet you don’t,” said Nappy. - -The boys kept on hunting together until.... - -The trashman called, “Time to go back.” - -“Want to ride back?” asked Nappy. - -“Sure,” said Tommy. - -So Nappy asked the trashman if his new friend could ride. - -And the boys sat together on the back of the trash wagon. - -[Illustration] - -“I’ll trade you my door knob for your wagon wheel,” said Nappy, as they -bumped along. - -“Nothing doing,” said Tommy. “My big brother is building me a wagon and -we need another wheel.” - -“Gee,” said Nappy, “I wish I had a big brother. I only have a big -sister. I’ll trade you.” - -“Nothing doing,” said Tommy. “I have two little sisters. They’re twins.” - -“What are you boys talking about?” said the trashman. “You can’t trade -brothers and sisters like you trade marbles.” - -The boys laughed. - -“We’re only kidding,” said Nappy. - -When the trash wagon came to Nappy’s house the boys got off. - -“Thanks for the ride,” said Nappy. “We collected lots of things. Come -on, Tommy, I’ll show you my marbles.” - -Tommy waited on the front steps while Nappy got his marbles. They were -in a little cloth bag with a draw string. - -“Gee!” said Tommy. “That’s a neat bag! Where did you get it?” - -“My big sister made it for me,” said Nappy. - -“Well,” said Tommy, “maybe a big sister would be a good trade for a big -brother after all.” - -Just then Nappy’s sister came out of the house. - -“Hello, Sis,” said Nappy. “I have a new friend. His name is Tommy. Will -you make a marble bag for him like the one you made for me?” - -“I was going out to pick blueberries,” said Sister. “If you boys will -pick the berries I’ll make the bag.” - -“It’s a trade,” said the boys. “Let’s go.” - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -So Nappy’s big sister got two little pails for the berries, and a piece -of cloth and a string for the bag, and they all went to the woods. - -Nappy left Mut behind because he was always chasing rabbits. - -Sister sat under a tree to sew the bag, and the boys started off to -pick the berries. - -“Let’s have a race,” said Nappy, “to see which one can fill his pail -first.” - -“The first one back here with a full pail wins,” said Sister. - -So Nappy went one way and Tommy went another way. And there must have -been more berries where Tommy went because.... - -Before long he was back with a pail full of berries. - -“I won,” said Tommy. “Here’s your berries.” - -“Here’s your bag,” said Sister, “but where’s Nappy?” - -“Let’s go find him,” said Tommy. “I know the way he went.” - -“Dear me,” said Sister, “I hope he’s not lost!” - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -“He can’t be far,” said Tommy. “We’ll find him.” - -And they did find Nappy. He had something in his arms--something he -was trying to hold on to--something wiggling. The pail of berries was -over-turned on the ground. - -“Look!” said Nappy. “Look what I caught!” - -“It’s a little raccoon,” said Sister. “However did you catch him?” - -“I put down my pail,” said Nappy, “to pick some more berries, and when -I looked around, this little fellow was in the pail with his tail -sticking out ... so I grabbed him. I’m going to keep him for a pet.” - -“You have enough pets now,” said Sister. “Besides, your dog wouldn’t -like a raccoon. Why don’t you let him go?” - -“Oh, no! Don’t!” cried Tommy. “I haven’t any pets. Oh, Nappy, I’ll -trade you anything I have for that raccoon! Come to my house and you -can choose anything I have.” - -[Illustration] - -So they all went to Tommy’s house. - -And Nappy looked over the things Tommy had.... There was a ball, and a -bat, and some skates, and some stilts, and a wagon, and a drum. - -“You mean I can choose _anything_?” asked Nappy. - -“Well,” said Tommy, “anything except the drum.” - -“How about the stilts,” said Nappy. “Will you show me how to walk on -them?” - -“Sure,” said Tommy. “My big brother can make me another pair of stilts. -We’ll have fun together.” - -So the boys made the trade. - -“Why didn’t you want to trade your drum, Tommy?” asked Nappy’s sister. - -[Illustration] - -“Because my big brother plays the harmonica and I beat the drum,” said -Tommy, “and you should see my little sisters dance!” - -“Oh, I’d like to see them dance,” said Nappy’s sister. “Could we see -them, Tommy?” - -“Sure,” said Tommy. “Come on.” - -They found the twins in the back yard making mud pies. - -“You wait here,” said Tommy. “I’ll get my big brother. They’ll drop -those mud pies and dance as soon as they hear the music.” - -Tommy went to get his brother. - -“Aren’t they cute?” said Nappy’s big sister. - -“I hear music,” said Nappy. - -[Illustration] - -Out of the house came Tommy, beating his drum, and his big brother, -playing the harmonica. - -As soon as the twins heard the music they dropped the mud pies and -began to dance. - -“Oh, boy,” cried Nappy, “they can _dance_!” - -“It’s a wonderful act,” said Sister. “Good enough for a show.” - -“Let’s _have_ a show!” said Nappy. “We could fix up our barn like a -theater and....” - -“I’ll make the costumes,” said Sister. - -“Swell idea,” said Tommy’s big brother. “I’ll fix up the barn.” - -[Illustration] - -“And I’ll train my raccoon to do tricks,” said Tommy. - -“My dog can do tricks,” said Nappy. “We can have lots of acts.” - -“But the twins’ dance will be the best in the show,” said sister. “We -can call their act ‘The Twirling Twins.’” - -“Let’s get to work,” said Nappy. - -Nappy’s sister took Tommy’s brother to see the barn so he could start -fixing it up like a theater. - -Tommy taught his raccoon to walk up and down steps. - -And Nappy learned to walk on stilts. - -[Illustration] - -Everybody worked---- - -Tommy’s big brother built benches in the barn for the audience to sit -on. - -[Illustration] - -Nappy’s big sister made costumes. - -She made dresses out of crepe paper for the twins. - -They looked exactly alike. - -“You look just darling,” said Sister. - -[Illustration] - -Then they all got together in the barn to make plans for the show. - -Nappy brought his old friend, Spike, to the meeting. - -“Spike wants to be in charge of tickets,” said Nappy. “How much shall -we charge to see the show?” - -“I think five cents will be enough,” said Sister, “and I’ve made up a -verse to tell about it the way we did when we had the pet show. Listen: - - Come to see our ‘Saturday Show.’ - See the Twirling Twins, - Music, stunts and fun galore.... - You will surely cry for more - In the barn our show will be - Five cents is the entrance fee.” - -[Illustration] - -“That’s a good verse,” said Spike. “It tells when the show will be, -where the show will be, and how much it costs to get in. I’ll make -copies of it and give one to every kid in town.” - -“Oh boy!” cried Nappy. “I just thought of a great act for our show. You -kids just wait here. I’ll be back.” - -Nappy ran down the street to Wong’s Chinese Restaurant. - -He found the Wong boys playing marbles in front of their father’s -restaurant. - -“Hello,” said Nappy. “How would you boys like to be in a show? You can -do your tumbling act. We’re planning a show in our barn now. Will you -come and show the other kids how you can tumble?” - -“Sure,” said the Wong boys. - -[Illustration] - -And they went back to the barn with Nappy, and did their stunts. - -“That’s great!” said Tommy. - -[Illustration] - -“This is going to be the best show ever,” said Nappy. - -And it did turn out to be a great show because all of the children -worked to get ready for it. They worked hard. They worked together. - -Nappy and Tommy helped build the stage. - -Nappy’s sister made a curtain out of sheets, and the Wong boys hung it. - -Then they had rehearsals while Spike went around town selling tickets -and at last.... - -The big day came. - -Spike stood outside the barn to collect tickets. - -Children came from all over town to see the show. - -“Have your tickets ready,” shouted Spike. “Step right in--plenty of -seats inside. Have your tickets ready, please, for the Saturday Show, -the greatest show on earth. See the Twirling Twins.” - -“Step right up--have your tickets ready, please.” - -[Illustration] - -Inside the barn, Tommy beat his drum and his big brother played the -harmonica. - -[Illustration] - -The children took their seats and clapped, and then.... - -[Illustration] - -The curtain went up. Out on the stage came the Wong boys, turning hand -springs. - -They did somersaults forward and backward while Tommy beat the drum. - -They stood on their heads. They tumbled all over the stage and ended up -with the smallest Wong boy standing on his brothers’ shoulders. - -“Hurrah! Hurrah!” Shouts and cheers came from the audience. - -[Illustration] - -The next act was Tommy and his raccoon. - -Tommy was dressed like a clown and the raccoon climbed up on his -shoulder. - -Then the raccoon walked up and down steps. - -The audience clapped and Tommy bowed and led his raccoon off the stage. - -But when he came back, walking on stilts, with his friend Nappy, what -do you think happened? - -That raccoon came back on the stage and climbed up the stilt, all the -way up, and sat on Tommy’s shoulder! - -Then came the big act. - -[Illustration] - -Nappy led his colt on the stage, and sitting on the colt’s back were -Tommy’s little twin sisters. - -They were holding on tight because when Tommy and his brother began to -play---- - -The colt began to dance; then Nappy lifted them off so they could dance -themselves. - -How those twins danced! They kicked and spun and whirled and twirled. - -The audience shouted and cheered. - -“Hurrah for the Twirling Twins!” - -It was surely the best act of the show. - -But it wasn’t the last one.... - -The last act was.... - -[Illustration] - -Nappy and his dog. - -Mut played ‘dead dog’ until ... he heard the Star Spangled Banner and -Nappy waved an American flag.... - -[Illustration] - -Then Mut stood up and saluted. - -Indeed, everyone in the barn stood up when they heard the Star Spangled -Banner and then.... - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -The curtain came down. - -The actors bowed. - -The audience clapped. - -And that was the end of the show. - -And that is the end of this story, too. - - - - -TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: - - -Italicized text is surrounded by underscores: _italics_. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK NAPPY HAS A NEW FRIEND *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

For forty years, he produced and -distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of -volunteer support. - -Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed -editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in -the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our website which has the main PG search -facility: www.gutenberg.org - -This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
