"Now we'll cut the cake," exclaimed kind Uncle Lucky, and he went over tothe Luckymobile to get the gigantic carving knife which he had hidden underthe cushions.

"There's a little platinum ring hidden away somewhere," he said as he cutthe cake fairly carefully so as not to topple over the beautiful candlesand get the pink and green melted wax all over the yellow frosting.

And then everybody ate up his piece of cake as fast as he could tofind the little platinum ring. "I've got it! I've got it!" screamed TimmyChipmunk. But, oh, dear me. It wasn't the ring at all. It was only ahard nut.
