"What do you think the children are doing?" asked Mrs. Brown of Mary,
the cook, one day.
"Oh, I guess they're getting up some kind of a show," Mary answered. "I
can hear Splash barking now and then, and there's a cat mewing."
"Cat!" exclaimed Mrs. Brown. "We haven't a cat!"
"I guess it's Charlie Star's," went on the cook. "He brings it over
every day in a basket and takes it home again. I guess they're getting
ready for a show."
"Bunny and Sue did have a show once," observed Mrs. Brown. "I hardly
believe they would get up another. I must see what they are up to."
However, as company came just then and Mrs. Brown had to entertain them,
she forgot all about her two children. Meanwhile things were happening
out in the barn.
But Bunny and Sue kept it a secret, in which only Charlie Star had a
share, and Charlie did not tell. When Mrs. Brown's company had left some
one telephoned to her and she forgot all about her plan to ask Bunny
what was going on.
It was a few days after this that Bunny and Sue were again sent to the
store for their mother, and you may easily guess to which store they
went--the little corner one, of course.
