Reb plodded along, carrying the baby assigned to him. The four goats were strung out in a line behind him. The animals followed along patiently, bleating piteously sometimes.

The travelers took a break at midmorning. Reb and Gus milked the goats just enough to provide a quick meal for the babies. They drank it happily and went to sleep almost at once.

“It’s a good thing these babies sleep a lot,” Reb muttered. “If they all decided to squall at once, we’d sure attract some attention.”

Wash was leaning back against a tree. Like the others, he’d been watching for monsters overhead during their rest period. “I sure hope we don’t see any of those squirrels,” he said.

“Oh, we’re bound to see a few.” Gus was sitting on the ground across from Wash. He glanced upward and added, “Can’t expect to make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, you know.”

“What in the world does that mean?” Jake asked.

“It means that on a good adventure like this we’re bound to have a few bad things happen. But that’s all right. My theory is that bad things make a fellow tough.”

“I’m tough enough already,” Jake growled. “Don’t be coming at me with any of your dark prophecies! My lands, Gus, don’t you ever have any optimistic thoughts?”

Gus looked surprised. “Why, sure I do. I expect I’ll get married someday and live happily ever after. But that’s after I’ve gone through a lot of hard stuff.”

“I give up!” Reb said in disgust. He began to pet one ofthe goats, saying, “You’re a lot more cheerful than Gus is, Mrs. Goat.”
