"And now," said Bunny, as his father finished telling what had happened,
"now I'm going up to see if we've caught a fox or a ground-hog in my box
trap. Come on, Sue."
"All right. I'm coming, Bunny, but if it is a fox or a ground-hog, you
won't let him bite me; will you?"
"Course I won't, Sue!" said the little fellow, picking up a stick from
beside the sleeping-tent. "Come on!"
Bunny Brown and his sister Sue were soon at the place where Bunny had
set the box-trap, with the stone on top to hold it down, in case an
animal got beneath.
"Now go easy, Sue!" whispered Bunny, as they crept through the bushes.
"If there's a fox, or anything else, just going in, we don't want to
scare him away."
"No," said Sue. "I won't make any noise."
She walked along quietly behind her brother. Now they were in sight of
the box-trap Bunny had made.
"Is--is anything in it?" Sue asked.
"Yes, I think so," her brother answered. "Don't make a noise. The box is
down, and I guess something is under it. I hope it's a fox."
"I don't," said Sue. "Foxes bite."
"Well, you can sell 'em for a lot of money," argued Bunny.
