As I have told you, in another of these "Happy Home" books, entitled "The Adventures of the Galloping Gas Stove," Gassy had gone through some wonderful experiences.  Having heard, somehow, that a new stove was to be put into the kitchen, in his place, Gassy decided to run away!  And, what is more, he did, and with him ran Thump, the dog, who had been scolded because he came into the kitchen with muddy paws!  As if that mattered!
