But Bunny and Charlie were so interested in sailing the new boat that
they did not pay much attention to Sue after reaching the brook. They
watched the wind puff out the sails and Charlie was just going to ask
Bunny if he would trade the boat for the toy auto when there came a loud
scream from Sue, who had wandered off by herself.
"Oh, Bunny! I've falled in! I've falled in!" cried Sue.
"Oh, she is in!" exclaimed Charlie, glancing upstream.
"And there's a deep hole there!" shouted Bunny, darting away. "Come on,
Charlie! Help me pull Sue out of the hole!"
CHAPTER IX
UP A LADDER
Charlie Star needed no second urging. Bunny had forgotten all about his
toy ship, but Charlie gave one look and saw that it had safely blown on
shore. Then Charlie sped after his chum.
"We're coming, Sue! We're coming!" cried Bunny. "Don't be afraid!"
"We'll get you out!" added Charlie.
The brook that ran back of the Brown house was rather deep in places,
and some of these places were near shore where the bank went steeply
down into the water.
