Leaving Bunker, Ben and the other big boys to put up their tent, Bunny
and Sue, with Splash, their dog, went back to the farmhouse.
"What trick can we do, Bunny?" asked Sue. "What can we do in the
circus?"
"Oh, we'll make up a surprise, so they'll all laugh," he said. "I wish I
had another big lobster claw, so I could put it on my nose, and look
funny."
"Maybe you could find something else to put on your nose," said the
little girl. "Oh, Bunny, I know!" she suddenly cried. "I've just thought
of something fine!"
"What?" asked Bunny.
Sue looked all around, to make sure no one was listening, and then she
whispered to Bunny. And what it was she told him I'm not allowed to tell
you just now, though I will when the right time comes.
Anyhow, Bunny and Sue were very busy the rest of the day. They were
making something out in the barn, and they kept the doors closed so no
one could see what they were doing.
It was the day after this that Bunny and Sue were asked by their grandma
to go on a little errand for her. It was about half a mile down the
safe country road, to a neighbor's house, and as the two children had
been there before, they knew the way very well.
