"There!" Twinkleheels called to the two bays. "There's Farmer Green
talking to Bright and Broad. I hope they're not helpless already."
The bays snickered.
"Don't laugh!" Twinkleheels begged them. "It's not funny. It would be
awful for them to spend the rest of the winter in a snow bank."
"We weren't laughing at Bright and Broad," the bays explained.
Twinkleheels tried to look at them; but old Ebenezer's bony back was in
the way.
"I don't know what amuses you, then," he snapped.
"Maybe you'll find out later," the bays told him.
And he did. When Johnnie Green next led him out of the barn Twinkleheels
discovered that a broad path had been opened from the barn to the
highway. And a little distance up the road Farmer Green and Bright and
Broad were battling with the drifts.
