Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Giving a Show Laura Lee Hope

With a joyful laugh, her curls dancing about her head, while her brown eyes sparkled with fun, a little girl danced through the hall and into the dining room where her brother was eating a rather late breakfast of buckwheat cakes and syrup. "Oh, Bunny, it's doing it! It's come! Oh, won't we have fun!" cried the little girl. Bunny Brown looked up at his sister Sue, holding a bit of syrup-covered cake on his fork. "What's come?" he asked. "Has Aunt Lu come to visit us, or did Wango, the monkey, come up on our front steps?" "No, it isn't Mr. Jed Winkler's monkey and Aunt Lu didn't come, but I wish she had," answered Sue. "But it's come?a lot of it, and I'm so glad! Hurray!" Bunny Brown put down his fork and looked more carefully at his sister. "What are you playing?" he asked, thinking perhaps it was some new game. "I'm not playing anything!" declared Sue. "I'm so glad it's come! Now we can have some fun! Just look out the window, Bunny Brown!" "But what has come?" asked the little boy, who was a year older than his sister Sue. He was a bright chap, with merry blue eyes and they opened wide now, trying to see what Sue was so excited about. "What is it?" asked Bunny Brown once more.
