"It can't be a Woodpecker," saki Hanid, "Woodpeckers go 'Top'. They don't go 'Bang' It's somebody hammering. I'm aure of it, Khart."
Finally they discovered that the hammering sounds were corning from O'Cheer Hall down under the roots of the Old Oak where the Pixles Hved.,
The Old Oak, In ense you don't know, stood in the middle of the park not for from the edge of the lake.
The Pixies who lived in O'Cheer Hall were park Pixles, regular elty Pixles, used to cars and Are engines and Children shouting and People walking- But they were old-fashioned, ordinary Pixles just the same.

At the door of O'Cheer Holl Kaart and Hould met Pixte McSpry and Pixie O'Laff. They were standing there with their hands over their cars, The hammering come from below and it was fearfully loud.
Hanid "What's going on?" asked the two Pixies. She had to shout to make them hear her, and they had to shout back. "O'Scow's trying out his new alarm clock!" they answered.
Knarf and Hand hurried down the winding fight of steps that led down through the hollow trunk of the Old Oak, down under the roots and final- ly to O'Cheer Hall
Here they came on a curious sight.

"I beat a drum. I blew a horn. I kicked an empty tin can around the room 'all at the same time," said Pixio O'Scowl. Suddenly. Hanld had an idea.
What's the timo? "Pixie O'Scowl, dear," she said in a very soft and gentle voice, "want time is it, please?" Pixie O'Scowl, still sitting on top of Pixle McSnooze, glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Almost 12 o'clock," he said in a puzzled voice, throwing a look at Ranid as if to say, "Now what did you ask that for?"
Hanld still kept her voice low. "Oh-12 o'clock! Time for lunch We'd better hurry!"
She started tiptoeing toward the door.
"Sh-h," she cautioned Knarf and Pixle O'Scowl. "Don't make any noise. We don't want to wake him up. He doesn't want any lunch if he's fast asleepi Sh-h.
