And floating high on winds that gently blew!

“This mountain is a volcano! And rumbling still!
Soon the current will settle me to the ground.”
From mountain top little Paulie saw every hill!
“I’ll just untie this root and toss it down, down, down!”
Into the mountain’s mouth the tap root fell
As heat from the mountain’s bowls up rose.
With such tremedous force the tap root swelled.
And likewise so did little Paulie’s clothes.

Then little Paulie, up, up, up he went!
--With that huge red ball very close behind.
The heat from out the mountain--heaven sent--
Rose that great bubble; and rose it just in time!
For all the air was gone for Paulie’s clothes.
And from the sky he dropped like weighted lead!
But up that huge ball floated--with root-like hose,
And little Paulie bounced on all its red!

Ball and Paulie floated long and far....
Suddenly, little Paulie spied his home!
Down "shooted" root he bounced into Father’s car.
Next looking up--“That huge red ball is gone!"
Then, “Mother! Father!” he called, “I’m home! I’m home!"
