Excerpt: ... the eggs into their basket they heard Freddie's cries for help. Surprised and a little frightened, they ran out of that part of the barn where Flossie had found the first nest and Nan the second. "Freddie! Freddie!" cried Nan. "Where are you, Freddie?" "Down in a hole!" came the muffled answer. "What hole?" Nan wanted to know. "Tell me where the hole is so I can come and get you out. What hole, Freddie?" "Maybe it's a dark hole," suggested Flossie.

I'm about half way down in the hole, Nan." Then Nan began to understand what had taken place. She remembered that once something like this had happened to her. "Are you sliding down or standing still, Freddie?" she called to her brother. "I was sliding, but I'm standing still now," he answered. "I'm stuck fast in a lot of hay." "Well, wiggle as hard as you can," advised Nan. "I know where you are.
