Rubbalong Tale No. 4,
By Enid Blyton
NCE Mr Stamp-About came to stay with his sister, Dame Scary, in Tip- Top Village.
He stumped into her little house and it shook from roof to floor. He banged his bag down in the hall and yelled for his sister.
"Hey Scary! I've come to stay!"
His sister wasn't pleased. She was a quiet, timid little woman, and she didn't like selfish people with toud välces, bad tempers and stamp- Ing feel. She came running out of the kitchen. "Oh, Stamp-About!. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?”
Stamp-About grinned. "Still the same scary little mouse, aren't you?" he said. "I'll

But, of course, Stamp-About wouldn't pay him. He took the boots and slammed the door in Rubbalong's face, Rubbalong grinned slyly.
