"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Keeping Store"


Sue, coming along and seeing the hose turned on, with the water spurting
out, had picked up the nozzle end and was watering the garden. Only she
held the hose so high that the water shot over the high front hedge and
was wetting some man passing in the street.
That is what Bunny thought. But that is not what had happened.
Just before he turned the corner of the house he heard the man's voice
once more saying:
"Say, isn't it enough to wet me once? What are you keeping it up for? I
am trying to get out of the way, but you follow me. I'm coming in and
see about this!"
Something very like trouble seemed about to happen.
"Sue! Sue!" cried Bunny, still thinking his sister was to blame. "Let
that hose alone!"
But when he turned the corner of the house and could see the garden, Sue
was not in sight. And, stranger still, no one was at the hose. There it
lay, still spurting water out on the thick, green grass.
Who had picked up the nozzle and sprayed the unseen man in the street?
If it was Sue where had she gone?
"Sue! Sue!" called Bunny.
