Their Adventure on the Green Railway

The brownies looked around. They were in a bare, open country, with the walls of the Land of the Clever People behind them.

‘We’d better see you safely back to your country first,’ said Hop to the little girl, who was dancing about and clapping her hands for joy at having escaped.

‘Oh, we’ll all travel on the Green Railway,’ said the little girl. ‘I’ll get out at Giggleswick – that’s my station – and you can go on to Fiddlestick Field if you like, or come and stay with me at my home.’

‘I think we’d better not do that,’ said Hop, who was beginning to feel that it was far easier to get into a strange land than out of it. ‘We might not giggle enough.’

‘Besides, we want to find out the way to Witchland as soon as we can,’ said Skip, ‘so that we can rescue poor little Princess Peronel.’

‘Well, first of all, where’s the Green Railway?’ asked Jump.

‘Oh, it runs beneath the ground just here,’ explained the little girl. ‘I’ll show you how to get to it. Look for a big yellow mushroom, all of you.’

The brownies began hunting all around.

‘I’ve found a beauty!’ cried Hop.

‘So have I!’ called Skip.

‘So have we,’ said the little girl, running up with Jump. ‘Bring them here and set them down in a circle.’

They all brought their mushrooms. They were very big ones, quite as large as stools, and the brownies were able to stand them up straight, and then sit on the tops.

‘Hold tight to your mushrooms,’ said the little girl, ‘while I say a magic rhyme.’

The brownies held tight.
