“I think it is time to go to the picnic,” said Princess Lee.
“Wait,” shouted Prince Hop-A-Lot.”I have to get
Mr. Pin Cushion.”
And Prince Hop-A-Lot hopped into the next room.
Princess Lee explained that Mr. Pin Cushion is
Prince Hop-A-Lot’s pet porcupine. “:He doesn’t like
to go places without his pet.”
When Prince Hop-A-Lot hopped backe he had his
little porcupine with him. “Would you like to pet
Mr. Pin Cushion?” he asked.
“No thank you,” said Prince Jay politely.
“Maybe next time,” Princess Fay whispered.
“Yes, perhaps next time,” added Princess Kay.
Then Princess Lee and Prince Hop-A-Lot put
on their green pigs, and their boots and left
with their friends.
CHAPTER 3: THE SILLYDILLY SNOWMEN
It was snowing as the children arrived at the
picnic park.
There were five snowmen waiting there . They were
invited to the picnic too.
The snowmen had carrots for ears, DCs for eyes,
a peach for theirnoses, and a candle for their mouths.
They each had books on the tops of their heads.
The snowmen looked very strange to the WillyNilly
children who asked some questions about them.
“What are the books about?”
“Oh,” said Prince Hop-A-Lot. “They are' how to
books,' like How to Grow Socks in the Garden and
How to Dance with a Turkey.”
“I see,” said Prince Jay. Most interesting, I’m sure.
Princess Kay asked Princess Lee about the candles.
“It gets very dark at night. The snowmen can always light their
mouths in order tosee.”
“Hmmm, Princess Fay wondered. “But won’t the fire from
the candle melt the snowmen?”
“Actually, that is not a problem, because they can
always blow out the fire on the candles with their
candles, which are their mouths.”
Prince Hop-A-Lot added that the snowmen love music.
“Whenever they want to hear their favorite songs, all
they need to do is play their eyes. And peaches smell
so good. The snowmen just lovesmelling their noses.”
“Well, we might as well get the picnic started,” said
Princess Leeand the other children agreed. “The snowmen
are probably very hungry.”
CHAPTER 4: A NO-FOOD PICNIC
BUT WHERE WAS THE FOOD?
“Oh no,” shouted Prince-Hop-A-Lot. I knew that
we forgot to bring something.”
“That’s all right,” said Princess Kay.”We can always
go back to the palace and have something to eat there!”
But Prince Hop-A-Lot was worried about the snowmen
because they couldn’t go back to the palace.
“Wait a minute,” Prince Jay suddenly had an idea.
“If the snowmen are hungry they can always eat their ears.”
“Yes, that’s true,” said Princess Lee, and then she added, “If
they are still hungry they can also eat their juicy noses.”
Prince Hop-A-Lot felt much better and hopped off to tell
the snowmen what they could do.
CHAPTER 5: PICNIC IN THE PALACE
Then the children went back to the palace and ate
a wonderful meal. They had a plateful of jellybean
stew with mashed prunes.
For dessert they had string bean salad mixed with
marshmallows and pickles
After the palace picnic, Princess Fay said, “I think
it is time for us to go back to WillyNillyLand .”
“Good bye and thank you, Princess Lee. We had a
wonderful time.”
“And hello,” Prince Hop-A-Lot. We hopeto see you
again soon.”
“And you too, Mr. Pin Cushion, “Princess Fay said as
she put her hands behind her back.
When the three WillyNilly children arrived home, the
first thing they did wast ake off their coats, hats ,
mittens and boots.
Then they went out side for an evening swim in the palace pool.
They were singing a lovely song.
