Rubbalong Tale No. 9

By ENID BLYTON

NE day little Rubbalong was walking along with his friend Button when they suddenly saw somebody com- ing through the woods towards them,

"Look-it's Grabbit!" said Rub- balong, in alarm. "Where shall we hide?” "Why should we hide?" said Button in surprise. "Grabbit won't hurt us.”

"He'll hurt me," said little Rub- balong. "Didn't I ever tell you how I took him to Dame Dandy's and he fell into her blue-spell and came out all blue? Dodo; Look, you can see his nose-it's still blue *

Grabbit's nose was certainly a queer. hight, as blue as a forget-me-not. He stalked along, awinging his long arins, an ugly fellow with a scowl on his face.
