"Oh, that's for the wild animals," said Bunker Blue.
"Are you going to have our dog Splash striped like a blue tiger again?"
asked Sue.
"No, I think we'll have some different wild animals this time," said
Ben. "There'll be some surprises at our show."
"Oh, I wish it were time now!" cried Sue.
"We've got a surprise too; haven't we, Bunny?"
"Yep!" answered her brother. "Come on out to the barn, Sue and we'll
practise it again."
What it was Bunny and Sue were going to do, none of the big boys could
guess. And they did not try very hard, for they had too much to do
themselves, getting ready for the "big" circus as they called it, for
the first one, gotten up by Bunny and Sue, was only a little one.
So the smaller tent was made ready for the "wild" animals, though of
course there would really be no elephants, tigers or anything like that.
You couldn't have them in a boys' circus, and I guess the boys didn't
really want them. "Make-believe" was as much fun to them as it was to
Bunny and Sue.
There was nice, clear weather after the storm and flood, and soon the
circus tents were dried out again.
