Lamar hurried down the mounainside until he could call to lalpho and tell him to lead his nen up the mountain to Ihe airdane. The children thought it .vould be only a few minutes until ftalpho and his tourists arrived and o they were surprised when Lanar came back and said: "If you folks can find a rope of tome kind in the airplane I'll take ou to a place where you can see he climbers most of the time. It'll e an hour or more before they get j icre.

"This is just the way we used to play horse back in Make-Believe town," said Jane. Just then Jack slipped on the icy ground and sat down very hard. "I guess it wasn't quite as slippery back home, though," said Lamar laughingly as Jack scrambled to his feet. Lamar guided the children safely mountainside toward them and the airplane.
