Following a half hour of patient calling and watching In the sweltering sunshine the Melby parents gave up, leaving the job of curbing Frisky's freedom to the duughters with the help of neighborhood children. Frisky made his way to the tomato vines, where he ap parently hid out In Hie shade for another three quarters of hour, while disappointed child ren opened the door from time to time to complain. Finally the music man had had enough. He went to the yard, got his trusty hose, and started administering water to the tomato patch until the ficcdom lover emerged at the end closest the cage. Elder daughter Kathy used a bath towel to rescue Frisky and re turn him to his cage, where he Immediately disappeared in his box and did not come out until he had removed every drop of water.
