"All right, I'll get you!" cried the little boy, and he grasped hold of his sister's arm. She had stepped into a little sandy hole, and the water came up half way to her knees. Of course that was not very deep, and when Margy saw she was not going to sink down very far she was no longer frightened. "But I was scared till you grabbed hold of me," she said to Mun Bun. "Is it very deep any more?"
It forms the paradise of a great many ducks of various breeds, which are accustomed to be fed by visitors, and come flying from afar, touching the water with their wings, and quacking loudly when bread or cake is thrown to them. I bought a bun of a little hunchbacked man, who kept a refreshment-stall near the Serpentine, and bestowed it pied-meal on these ducks, as we loitered along the bank.
She had Mun Bun and Margy both together in her ample lap while Laddie and Vi leaned against her and listened to the tale she was telling the little folks. Phillis and Alice meanwhile showed Rose the interior of the cabin and all its comforts and wonders.
He took the strings off one wheel, letting Mun Bun play with that, and then tied more strings on the second wheel. He also fastened a string of bells on the wheel, and then, standing in a far corner of the attic, and pulling on the string of jingling bells, Russ could make them tinkle and ring. "This is fun!" cried Laddie, and he and his brother enjoyed themselves very much, and so did Mun Bun.
"Of course not!" returns Mrs. Berry. "It's as easy, if ye're in earnest, as buying a plum bun."
The workmen were very kind to the smallest Bunkers. Mun Bun grew quite as excited and enthusiastic as Margy. They worked hard to trim that tree. "But it hasn't any lights," said Mun Bun sadly. "And that other Christmas tree had lights." You see, he remembered very clearly about that. And when Mun Bun played he always wanted the play to be as real as possible. "We'll get candles," declared Margy.
Buns containing either of these ingredients, therefore, are especially valuable in the diet. Besides increasing the food value of the buns, nuts and fruit improve the flavour and make a very palatable form of bun. 4 Tb. sugar 1 Tb. fat 1 tsp. salt 1 cake compressed yeast 1 c. lukewarm milk 3 c. white flour 3/4 c. chopped nuts or raisins 1 c. white flour additional for kneading
He stooped and patted Bobby, and noted the bun, untouched, upon the floor. Turning to a wild elf of a barefooted child in the crowd he spoke to her. "Would you share your gude brose with the bit dog, lassie?" She darted down the stairs, and presently returned with her own scanty bowl of breakfast porridge.
"Wait a minute, Mun Bun, and I'll fix you!" cried Russ. "Stand still. The more you move the more you pull your own hair." "I'm not pulling my hair," said Mun Bun. "Somebody behind me is pulling it." "It's the spinning wheel," said Laddie with a laugh. Then, when they had untangled Mun Bun's hair, they showed him how it all had happened. He had really pulled his own hair.
It was just like a nightmare, and both Margy and Mun Bun knew what nightmares were. Those are dreams that, when you are "sleeping them," you get chased by something and your feet seem to stick in the mud so that you can't run. It is a very frightful sort of dream. And this adventure the little ones had got into was surely a frightful peril.
