The egg looked much safer in its hat nest.

Now what? wondered Lulu.

What do ducks do with their nests?

They sat on them.

Lulu could not sit on her nest, but she did the next best thing. She stuffed it under her sweater.

Does it show? wondered Lulu, looking at her dim reflection in the mirror of the coat room door.

It did, but not terribly. And Mrs. Holiday, Lulu was very glad to see, was still busy with Charlie.

So, feeling rather like a duck herself, Lulu waddled back to the classroom and sat down at the table she shared with Mellie.

Mellie had noticed.

“What have you got stuffed under your sweater?” she demanded.

“Under my sweater?”

“There’s definitely something! Tell me! I won’t tell.”

“Well. A hat.”

“A hat?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“To keep it safe,” replied Lulu, after some thought.

“Safe from what?”

“Getting lost.”

“Oh,” said Mellie in a rather surprised voice, and then “Oh!” again, in a rather impressed voice. That isn’t such a bad idea, she thought. She might try it herself.
