"Bunny! Bunny Brown! Where are you?" Bunny's mother stood on the front porch, looking first in the yard, then up and down the street in front of the house. But she did not see her little boy. "Sue! Sue, dear! Where are you, and where is Bunny?" Again Mrs. Brown called. This time she had an answer. "Here I am, Mother. On the side porch." A little girl, with brown eyes, came around the corner of the house. By one arm she carried a doll, and the doll was "leaking" sawdust on the porch. Mrs. Brown smiled when she saw this. "Why, Sue, my dear!" she exclaimed. "What is the matter with your doll? She is 'bleeding' sawdust, as you used to call it." "Oh, well, Mother, this is just my old doll," Sue answered. "It's the one I let Bunny take to play Punch and Judy show with, and he hit her with a stick, and made her sawdust come out. Did you want me, Mother?" "Yes, Sue, and I want Bunny, too. Where is he?" "He was here a little while ago," the brown-eyed girl answered. "But oh, Mother! you're all dressed up. Where are you going? Can't I go with you?" "Yes. That is what I called you for. And I want Bunny, too. Have you seen him?" "No, Mother. But shall I go in and wash my face, if I'm going with you? Where are we going?" "Just down to the store, and then I'm going to stop in the post-office and see if there are any letters for us.
