4-15 Mercy Watson Princess in Disguise

Chapter 15 When Ned and Lorenzo got to Deckawoo Drive, they saw a large oak tree. Underneath the oak tree was a pig in a pink dress with a tiara on her head. " It is just as I suspected, " said Lorenzo. " There is that pig. " " Yes, " said Ned, " but where is General Washington?"

" Thank goodness you are here, " said Baby Lincoln. " What took you so long?" said Eugenia Lincoln. " Is that General Washington?" said Ned. He pointed to the gray cat high in the oak tree. " Of course it is, " said Eugenia Lincoln. " MooooooowwwwwwwwwllllIII, " said General Washington.

Lorenzo got a ladder from the truck. He leaned the ladder against the tree. He climbed up the ladder. He reached out and grabbed hold of General Washington.

He climbed down the ladder. He put General Washington into Eugenia's arms. " Hooray! " everyone cheered. " You can always count on the fire department, " said Mr. Watson. " That is what I say. "

" Oh, " said Mrs. Watson, " we should celebrate. We should have a party. " Merey pricked up her ears. Parties, in Mercy's experience, almost always involved toast.
