Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Aunt Lu's City Home Laura Lee Hope

"Bunny! Bunny Brown! Sue, dear! Aren't you going to get up?" Mrs. Brown stood in the hall, calling to her two sleeping children. The sun was shining brightly out of doors, but the little folks had not yet gotten out of bed. "My! But you are sleeping late this morning!" went on Mrs. Brown. "Come, Bunny! Sue! It's time for breakfast!" There was a patter of bare feet in one room. Then a little voice called. "Oh, Bunny! I'm up first. Come on, we'll go and help grandma feed the chickens!" Little Sue Brown tapped on the door of her brother's room. "Get up, Bunny!" she cried, laughing. "I'm up first; Let's go and get the eggs." In the room where Bunny Brown slept could be heard a sort of grunting, stretching, yawning sound. That was the little boy waking up. He heard what his sister Sue said. "Ho! Ho!" he laughed, as he rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Go to get eggs with grandma! I guess you think we're back on grandpa's farm; don't you Sue?" and he came to his door to look out into the hall, where his mother stood smiling at the two children.
