CHAPTER XX
MR. BOBBSEY COMES BACK
"Hey, Jimmie! Give us a goat ride, will you?" called a boy in the street.
"I will for two cents," answered the red-haired lad driving the goat and wagon.
"Aw, go on. Give us a ride for a cent!"
"Nope. Two cents!"
"Oh, did you hear that?" asked Flossie of Freddie. "He gives rides for two cents."
"Then we'll have some," said Freddie. "How many rides can you get for ten cents?"
"A lot, I guess," said Flossie, who forgot all about the number-work she had studied for a little while in school.
"Hey!" called Freddie to the boy with the goat. "We've got two cents—we want a ride."
The boy, who was sitting in an old goat wagon, pulled on the reins and guided his animal over toward the curb.
