"Maybe it's on fire, an'
if I'm goin' to be a fireman I must see fires!"
He always declared he was going to be a fireman when he grew up, and
he was eager to see the engines every time they went out in answer to
an alarm of fire.
"Come on, Bert, if you're coming!" called Charley Mason, from the
street in front of the Bobbsey home. "It's a terrible wreck--cars off
the track--engines all smashed up--everything!"
"Here, Nan, you take Flossie and Freddie into the house! I'm going
with Charley!" said Bert.
"I want to see the wreck, too!" objected Nan. "You go into the house,
Freddie, and I'll bring you a lollypop when I come back," she added.
"Don't want a lollypop! I want to see the busted engines!" declared
Freddie almost ready to cry.
"So do I!" chimed in Flossie. She generally did want to see the same
things Freddie saw.
"Oh, dear! what shall we do?" exclaimed Nan.
Just then, from the door, Mrs. Bobbsey called:
"Children, children, what's the matter? What was that loud noise that
seemed to shake the house?"
"It's a train wreck and I want to go down with Charley Mason to see
it!" answered Bert.
