Even looking up from the garden she could not see his cage. The little wall hid it. Ratty was quite safe from the cats, and Nan was quite safe from Ratty.

Then, one on each side of Nan, taking care of her because it was her birthday treat, Lulu and Mellie went to the fair in the park.

Chapter Four

Ratty on the Roof

There never was a better person to take to a fair than Nan. She never said, as Lulu’s and Mellie’s parents so often did, “Once is enough!” or “Wait till you’re older!” She never said, “You’re not eating that!”

Once was not enough for Mellie on the Sky Wheel or Lulu on the carousel or Nan on the bumper cars. They tried them all twice and many other things too. And they ate cotton candy and hot dogs and terrible sticky rock candy. Also, by rolling balls and throwing hoops and catching ducks, they succeeded in winning a giant blow-up parrot, a long purple scarf made from feathers, a green balloon that rattled like thunder, and a solar-powered glow-in-the-dark plastic garden gnome.

“Extra birthday presents for you!” said Lulu to Nan.

Then they wound the feather scarf around Nan’s neck, and Lulu took the parrot and the balloon, and Mellie took the gnome in one hand and Nan’s hand in the other, and they walked home very slowly together.

“Did you have a nice time, Nan?” asked Mellie.

“I had a wonderful time,” said Nan. “I haven’t laughed so much for years and years and years. But I shall be very glad to sit down!”
