"So do I," she said. "We can take Flossie and Freddie with us. We
won't go far."
"Are there any cowboys here?" Freddie wanted to know.
"Not any, I guess," laughed Bert. "We'll find them when we get to
Cowdon, where mother's ranch is."
Before they knew it the Bobbsey twins had walked quite a little way
along a path into the woods. They heard the sound of axes being used
to chop down trees, and they were eager to see the lumbermen at work.
"Oh, look at this big tree!" called Freddie to Bert. "Some one cut it
almost down!" He and Flossie had, for the moment, wandered away from
Bert and Nan, though they were still within sight. At Freddie's call
Bert looked up and toward his small brother.
Bert saw the two small Bobbsey twins standing beside a big tree which,
as Freddie had said, was partly cut down. Just then came a puff of
wind. The big tree slowly swayed and began to fall over. And Flossie
and Freddie were standing near it, right where it would crash down on
them!

"Look out there! Look out!"
Bert and Nan Bobbsey, standing near a big stump, heard some one shout
this to Flossie and Freddie as the two small Bobbsey twins looked up
at the great tree which was slowly falling toward them.
