Even when the children rode on his back, and shouted at the top of their voi- ces: "Look at him go! Look at him galloping!" all poor Whoa ever did was to rock up and down in one place. It wasn't much fun running, and trotting, and galloping and pretending you are going up and down to all sorts of places while all the time you did nothing but rock up and down and stay ex- actly in the same place, Finally General Tin, the tin soldier, told Knarf and Hanid the shadow-children with the tur- ned about names, that there was only one thing to do. They would have to take the Hobby Horse named Whoa for a ride beyond the playroom wall. "How can we do that?" Knarf wanted to know. Very Simple "It's very simple," said Gener- al Tin. "Just come here at twelve o'clock sharp and I'll show you, At twelve o'clock sharp all hobby horses can run, and trot, and gal- lop just like real horses." So at twelve o'clock sharp that night Knarf and Hanid came to the playroom all ready to ride the Hobby Horse named Whoa. "Maybe it's a good idea, and maybe it isn't) said Whoa. "I don't feel much like running, and trotting, and galloping in the playroom. I do that all the time, I want to get out of the playroom but how can I get out when the playroom is all surrounded with walls?' Anyway you look there's a wall. How can I get through a wall?" "Be quiet!" General Tin said. "Horses aren't supposed to talk." Then he told Knarf and Hanid to climb on Whoa's back. They did so. Knarf sat in front, holding the reins. "Go straight for that back wall," the General told Gly Holly The shadows took a ride on the hobby horse Knarf. "Don't worry about bump- ing into it. You won't." All| at once General Tin shou ted: "Giddap!" Knarf and Hanid shouted: "Giddap!" The Hobby Horse named Whoa began running. "Jump!" shouted thes General. Next Instant Up in the air went Whoa. The next instant he went right thro- ugh the back wall. It parted in front of him as though it were made of mist. On the other side of the wall there was a wonderful road. It rolled on and on, through forests, past lakes, along beautiful rivers where the willows grew, In the trees little red and yellow birds sang, and red-tailed squirrels sat cn their haunches and watched, bright-eyed, As Knarf and Hanid rode al- ong they met other hobby horses running, trotting and galloping. It was the magic road beyond all the playroom walls where the hobby horses from all over the world got their exercise just as if they were real horses, Knarf and Hanid came back with Whoa just before Mrs. Cuc- koo called six o'clock. And from then on there never was a hap- pier horse than-the Hobby Horse.
