"Where are you?"
"We're coming, Mother!" answered Bunny.
He and his sister were playing in the yard down near the brook. Bunny
had carried to the brook a little boat, and Sue had with her one of her
very small dolls which was having a voyage on the small vessel. She had
picked out a celluloid doll.
"'Cause then if she falls off into the water it won't hurt if she gets
wet," said Sue.
"That's right!" agreed Bunny.
But now the children left their play and ran to see what their mother
wanted.
Before doing so, however, Bunny made fast the little boat to a tree on
the bank of the brook, tying it by a long string. And Sue took the
celluloid doll off the deck and laid her on the grass in the shade.
"'Cause she might go off sailing by herself," Sue explained.
"Pooh! She couldn't sail my boat!" laughed Bunny.
"Well, she might," said Sue.
Then they ran to their mother--who was waiting for them on the back
steps.
"What do you want, Mother?" asked Sue.
"Is it time to eat?" is what Bunny Brown asked.
