Even though the electricity was out and they could not watch television, Betsy was never at a loss for other ways to pass the time. Soon she infected Neddie and Susan with her contagious knack for complicating the simplest situation. Before the week was over, Betsy washed a can of unpopped corn that got scattered on the floor and then, using her own peculiar logic, dried it off in the oven wwith devastating results. She devised a birds' Christmas tree that her father called a Garbage tree and, with cheer and aplomb, thoroughly misdirected the making of a snowman.
