"All right," replied her brother. "What shall we do?"
"Can't you think of some fun?" Sue wanted to know.
Bunny rubbed his nose. He often did that when he was thinking. Then he
cried:
"Let's ask mother to let Bunker Blue take us out in the boat. I want to
go fishing."
"That will be nice," Sue said. "I'd like a boat ride, too."
Back to the camp went the children, but when they reached the tents they
saw neither their father nor mother, nor was Uncle Tad or Bunker Blue in
sight.
"They've gone away!" said Sue.
"Yes, so they have," agreed Bunny. "But I guess they didn't go far, or
they'd have told us. Mother knew where we were."
"Let's go find them," said Sue. "Maybe they went out in the boat."
"We'll look," agreed Bunny.
The two children went to the edge of the lake, where a big willow tree
overhung the water. The boat was kept tied to this tree.
"Oh, the boat's gone!" exclaimed Sue, as she reached the place and did
not see it. "The boat's gone, Bunny!"
"Then they must have gone for a row, and they didn't take us!" and Bunny
was much disappointed. He looked across the lake, up and down, as did
Sue, and then both children cried out:
"Oh, look!" said Sue.
