"I know how we could pass them a tart," said Bunny.
"How?" asked his mother.
"Climb up on the roof of the auto, and lower the lunch basket down to
them with a string."
"Bunny Brown! Don't you dare think of such a thing!" cried his mother.
"The idea of climbing onto the roof of this big automobile when it's
moving!"
"Oh, I didn't mean when it was _moving_," Bunny said. "I wouldn't do
that, for fear I'd be jiggled off. I meant to wait until we stopped.
Then I could get up on the roof."
"No need to do that," said Uncle Tad. "For when we stop, then one of you
can get down, and run up ahead with something for daddy and Bunker
Blue."
And, a little later, the automobile did stop.
"What's the matter?" called Mrs. Brown to her husband, who was up on the
front seat. "Did anything happen?"
"No, only the automobile needs a drink of water," answered Mr. Brown. I
have told you how automobiles need water, as much as horses do, or as
you do, when you get warm. Of course the automobile does not exactly
_drink_ the water. But some must be poured in, from time to time, to
keep the engine cool.
