Pack It All!
The train home to Mama and Baba goes at noon. Tock's wheels squeaked. "I'll pack ALL by myself!" said Pip.
"Tock, pack everything!" said Pip. "Everything," said Tock. "Done!" cried Pip. But the big bag would not shut.
"Is it really packed? Let's look!" The teapot! The kettle! The iron cat! Grandma's slippers! "Not EVERYTHING!" groaned Pip.
"Pack ME for the city!" said Chatter. "Birds don't go in bags!" said Pip. "Tock, pack only MY things!"
"Is it really packed? Let's look!" Grandma's glasses! The doormat! Dumpling! Everything Pip had touched. "Dumpling isn't a THING!"
"Half past eleven!" called Grandma. Pip thought and thought. "Tock does what I SAY! Not what I MEAN!"
"My pyjamas. My toothbrush. My book," said Pip. "Is it really packed? Let's look!" "What's this bottle?"
Pip did not open it. "Not sure. Ask Grandma!" "It's Tock's oil," said Grandma. Two drops. No more squeak!
The train puffed in. Chatter had given Pip her old kettle. Pip peeked inside. Empty! "Where's Chatter?"
"Goodbye, Pancake Hill!" "Sixth floor, by the Tram Bridge," said Tock. "Shh! Where we live is for people we trust."
Bridges! A stone bridge, an iron bridge, a green tram. The train stopped at Bridge City. "Mama! Baba!" called Pip.
"I packed it all myself!" The kettle wobbled. "Is it really empty? Let's look!" "Finders keepers!" cried Chatter.
统统装进去！
中午坐火车，回家找妈妈爸爸。嘀嗒的轮子吱吱响。皮皮说：“行李我自己收拾！”
皮皮说：“嘀嗒，统统装进去！”嘀嗒说：“统统。”“好啦！”皮皮说。可大包怎么也合不上。
“真的装好了吗？打开看看！”茶壶！水壶！小铁猫！奶奶的拖鞋！皮皮叹气：“不是这个统统！”
喳喳说：“把我装进去，我要去城里！”皮皮说：“鸟可不能进包里！嘀嗒，只装我的东西！”
“真的装好了吗？打开看看！”奶奶的眼镜！门垫！汤圆！都是皮皮碰过的。“汤圆不是行李！”
奶奶喊：“十一点半啦！”皮皮想啊想：“嘀嗒照我说的做！不是照我想的做！”
皮皮说：“我的睡衣。我的牙刷。我的书。”“真的装好了吗？打开看看！”“这是什么瓶子？”
皮皮没有打开瓶子。“不确定。问奶奶！”奶奶说：“这是嘀嗒的油。”点上两滴，不响啦！
火车开进站了。喳喳把旧铜壶送给了皮皮。皮皮往里看看，空的！“喳喳去哪儿了？”
“再见，烧饼山！”嘀嗒说：“六楼，电车桥旁边。”“嘘！家住哪儿，只告诉信得过的人。”
好多桥！石头桥，铁桥，还有绿色的电车。火车在桥城停下了。皮皮喊：“妈妈！爸爸！”
“我自己收拾好啦！”铜壶晃了晃。“真的是空的吗？打开看看！”喳喳喊：“谁捡到就是谁的！”
