It is large enough for him to sit in quite comfortably. and there is a place at the back where someone else may stand. A little rail trom the seat to the back makes it safe inr riding there. Its bright ii-d paint and shiny nickel trirri makes it very pretty. David sits in it, puts his feet on the pedals and away he goes. With its black rubber tlI'('S, steering wheel and horn, it looks just like a real car. David has even keys for it, in. a iezil key case exactly like his ll;iridy's.

She was running down that little path inl answer to that call. Peeping from under the grass Runty saw Aunt Sally stoop down and hold out something white.
