And Nothing-at-all said,"Oh,I suppose it takes all kinds of dogs to make a world,both see-able and unseen-able ones,so why should I worry?"

And he was as happy as any dog could be until there came a day when something happened.

It was a warm and drowsy day.Pointy was lying in his pointed kennel,Curly was lying in his curly kennel,and Nothing-at-all was lying in his roundish kennel.They were dozing,all three,when the sound of voices roused them from their dreams.

"Oh look!"cried a boy-voice."Here are some dog kennels in this far forgotten corner of the old forgotten farm."

"With dogs in them?"asked a girl-voice.

The boy looked into one kennel and said,"Yes!There's a curlyeared dog in here."

Next he looked into another kennel and said,"And a pointy-eared dog in here!"

Then he looked into the middle kennel,but since only invisible Nothing-at-all was in there,he saw nothing."The roundish kennel is empty,"he said."Nothing in it at all."

Gently and carefully the girl reached for Pointy;gently and carefully the boy reached for Curly,but the two little dogs were frightened and began to whimper.
