In the second story titled "Be Kind to Animals," Li'l Genius and his mother visit a farm to buy eggs, where the child decides he wants various animals as pets—a dog, goldfish, hamster, and pussy cat—but his mother repeatedly refuses until finally relenting and bringing home a bear, which the genius child manages to accommodate in the household.
Li'l Genius and his cousin Herman embark on a chaotic building spree after Herman arrives for a visit, with Li'l Genius determined to keep him occupied with harmless projects. As they construct a wild hybrid boat-car, their antics lead to an unexpected and thrilling race down a hill toward the beach, leaving their parents bewildered by the noise and spectacle.
Li'l Genius visits Mr. Brown's farm with his father, eager to show off the animals, but quickly finds himself overwhelmed by the farm's more unpredictable residents—from a startled bull to a pecking goose and a mischievous goat. As his father cheerfully interacts with each creature, Li'l Genius is both amused and bewildered by the chaos, until the day ends with an unexpected gift that leaves him both surprised and delighted.
A young boy named Herman, after a series of chaotic antics, is brought to a doctor who’s baffled by his behavior—until a paper airplane from the street reveals a surprising clue. The doctor devises an unusual plan to calm Herman’s wild energy, leading to a humorous twist involving a pet he never expected.
OLLIE idolizes a tough new kid named Butch, who treats him like a servant, leaving him embarrassed and desperate to prove himself. When his mother sends him to a dancing school to break the influence, OLLIE panics—afraid Butch will mock him for being a "sissy" and forever call him "Squirt."
