"Oh, see how glad he is to get it!" exclaimed Janet, as the pony
eagerly sucked up from her hat the water in it. The little animal
drank very fast, as if he had been without water a long while.
"Now give him yours, Teddy," Janet called to her brother, and he
kneeled down and let the pony drink from his hat.
"I guess he wants more," Janet said as the sick animal sucked up the
last drops from Teddy's hat. "It wasn't very much."
"We'll get more!" Teddy decided. "Then we'll go for a doctor."
"Where'll we find one?" Janet asked.
"I know where to find him," Teddy answered.
Once more the children went back to the spring and again they filled
their soft hats. And once more the pony greedily drank up the last
drops of water. As he finished that in Ted's hat he dropped back
again and stretched out as if very tired.
"Oh, I hope he doesn't die!" exclaimed Janet.
"So do I," added her brother. "I'd like to have a ride on him when
he gets well. Come on, we'll go find the doctor."
Shaking the water drops from their hats the Curlytops put them on
and went out of the cave into the sunlight. Led by Teddy, Janet
followed to the top of the pile of rocks.
"Do you see that white house over there?" asked Teddy, pointing to
one down the road that led past the buildings of Ring Rosy Ranch.
"Yes, I see it," Janet answered.
"That's the place where the doctor lives," went on Ted.
