He even barked
loudly, Splash did, while he was being held in the house by Mrs. Brown.
Sue ran out with the cake to Bunny, who was waiting beneath the tree.
"Is Wango there yet?" the little girl wanted to know.
"Yes," Bunny answered. "But he's coming down a little."
And the monkey came down still farther when he saw the cake, of which he
was very fond. He was soon perched on Bunny's shoulder, eating the
treat, Sue feeding him little pieces one at a time.
"Let's take him back to Mr. Winkler's house," suggested Bunny, as the
sun now came out bright and warm. "I guess the sailor will be looking
for him."
"Yes, I guess so," agreed Sue.
Wango had a great habit of running away from his master's home, and,
more than once, Bunny Brown and his sister Sue had taken back the
sailor's pet. This they now did again, and as they knocked at the side
door, Miss Winkler opened it.
"Here's your monkey back," said Bunny, after the first greetings.
"Huh! 'Tisn't _my_ monkey!" declared Miss Winkler. "It's Jed's! I
shouldn't ever worry if it never came home! Still, that isn't saying
it's your fault, Bunny and Sue.
