“This is the end of our fine trip,” said Scouty. "Look at that big rip the lightning put in our balloon. We’re falling downward, now. “Our only chance, now, is to land in some big stream. That would be grand. Os course, we'd get a ducking, but wed swim ashore, somehow.” The others were so scared that they just didn’t have a thing to say. The kind balloon man eyed them, and then shouted, “We're all right. “I am responsible for you. 11l save you all. before I'm through. I’m going to jump right out. but you hang on with all your might.” They shortly saw him leap away. Then Coppy weakly shouted, "Hey! You'll crash right down to earth.

And then there came a big surprise when, right before the Times’ eyes, a parachute popped open and began to fill with air. The Tinies pulled the old man in and then he told them, with a grin, "You see, I was prepared, .'.’m sorry that you had a scare. "The parachute will hold us all. There really is no chance to fall. The only thing that I regret, is that my hat is gone. "It’s so dark, now, I can not see, but right below us it must be. I think i'll land and get it, with the breaking of the dawn.” Then Goldy cried, "Why, just look there! A bird is coming through the air, and in its mouth it has your hat. This is your lucky day.” The bird flew by and dropped the hat right in the basket. Think of that! “Oh, thank you,” cried the man, as the kind bird flew on its way.
