Louisa Runs Away
Louisa snapped her book shut. She was reading a riviting story. In the story, the little girl ran away. She even took a train! She found it to be an interesting idea. Maybe she should run away, too! She turned to tell Clarence her great idea. But he seemed to be asleep in his chair. He always fell asleep when she read aloud to him. She patted him on his fluffy head. He quietly mooed in his sleep. Louisa wondered if he was dreaming about grazing in lush green grass. Time to get ready! She hopped up and grabbed a backpack off the dresser. Which was no easy feat because she had to climb the dresser first. That's one thing that was true about all the dolls in this family. They were all good climbers. After she got the backpack, she put her curly hair back in a ponytail. She didn't want her hair in her face while she was running away. She picked up Scooter, assuming he would want to come along and made her way out the bedroom door
