We could
play a guessing game; will you, Bunny?"
"Yes, I'll play that. May we have Splash in, Mother?"
"No, dear."
"Oh, why not?"
"Because I just saw Splash splashing through a puddle of muddy water. If
he came in now he'd get you all dirty and he would spoil my carpet."
"But what _can_ we do, Mother?" Sue asked, and her voice sounded almost
as if she were going to cry.
"We want to do _something_," added Bunny.
"Oh, dear!" sighed Mrs. Brown, yet she could not help smiling. Rainy
days were hard when two children had to stay in the house all the while.
"We can play 'spress wagon without Splash!" exclaimed Sue, for she was a
good little girl, and did not want to make her mother worry.
"All right," agreed Bunny. "We'll just make believe we have Splash with
us to pull the pretend wagon."
He and Sue often played pretend, and make-believe, games, and they had
much fun this way. Now they turned one chair on the side, and put
another in front. The turned-over chair was to be the wagon, and the
other chair, standing on its four legs, was the horse. Bunny got some
string for reins, and the stick the washerwoman used to punch the
clothes down in the boiler made a good whip, when another piece of
string was tied on the end of that.
