his brow.He asked,“Am I being selfish?”25What Gnu Knew Macmillan/McGraw-HillJust as Gnu wriggled into bed,Lamb climbed to the top of Gnus hill.Lambs legs felt numb,so she sat and looked around.What

sign hadnt stopped them at all.24What Gnu Knew Macmillan/McGraw-HillAll at once,Gnu woke from his nap.He peeked out his window,and what did he see?Lamb was filling her knapsack with his sweet
