The two smaller Bobbsey twins came to sit with
Nan and Bert and look out of the windows.
"My, what a lot of trees!" exclaimed Freddie.
"You couldn't climb all them, could you?" asked Flossie.
"Not all at once, but I could climb one at a time," Freddie answered,
as the train puffed on through the forest. "Can't we stop in the
woods?" he wanted to know. "These are terrible big woods."
"Yes, this is a large forest," said Mr. Bobbsey. "It is one of the
largest in the United States, and some of my lumber and boards come
from here. But we can't stop here. If we did we would have no nice hot
breakfast."
"Oh, then I don't want to stop!" exclaimed Freddie. "I'm hungry."
"We'll soon have breakfast," said his mother. "It is wonderful among
the trees," she said. "And to think that I will really own a tract of
woodland like this!"
"Yes," replied Mr. Bobbsey. "Your lumber tract will be much like this,
except there will be places where trees have been cut down to be made
into boards and planks.
