CHAPTER NINE
HENRY MEETS
THE PEOPLE
Henry slid under the door. He came to a bed where
there was a little boy sound asleep.
“Hello, Person,” called Henry.
There was no answer.
“Yoo hoo, Person!” Henry called.
Still there was no answer.
Henry looked into his pickle pack and found a
piccolo.
He blew a few notes on the piccolo, and still there
was no answer.
He blew a few more notes.
This time the door on the other side of the room
opened, and a Lady Person came in.
“Peter?” said the Lady Person. “Were you
whistling?”
Peter the Boy, did not answer.
“Peter,” she said, “Wake up! You were whistling in
your sleep?
Peter woke up.
The lady person laughed, and said, “Peter, guess what!
You were whistling in your sleep! Can you imagine
that?”
“Gee! Was I, mother?” said Peter.
