Bobbsey into
the big wagon from the Bobbsey farm. The wagon had seats running along
the side and was very comfortable to ride in.
Mr. Bobbsey soon came back with Snap, who was bouncing about, barking
and wagging his tail, so glad was he to be among his friends again.
"Well, are you all ready to start?" asked Uncle Daniel, as I shall call
him, to distinguish him from Mr. Bobbsey, who was the farmer's brother.
"All ready, I think," answered Mrs. Bobbsey. And off they started for
Meadow Brook farm, the horses prancing through the village streets.
"We'll have a lot of fun," said Harry to Bert, the two boys sitting
next each other. "Maybe not as much fun as we had on your houseboat,
Bert, but some, anyhow."
"I'm sure we shall," Bert said. "I like a farm just as much as I do a
houseboat," he added politely.
"Have you got any little calves, Uncle Daniel?" asked Freddie.
"Yes," answered the farmer.
"And are there any little lambs?" Flossie wanted to know.
"Yes, but there's an old ram, too, and you want to look out that he
doesn't chase you, and knock you down," Mr. Bobbsey's brother went on.
