Splash seemed to think he had done all that was needed, for now he ran here, there, everywhere across the road, back and forth, trying to find something with which to amuse himself. He no longer watched to see that the children followed him. He must have known that they were on the right road at last that he had led them there. Bunny and Sue passed Mrs. Redden's store.
Bunny and the others said they were trying to help Old Miss Hollyhock, which was one reason for giving the show. The other was to make Aunt Lu feel more happy. And when the people heard what Bunny and Sue planned to do, they gladly bought one ticket, and some even more. Though not all of them would really go to the show. One day Bunny and Sue went down to Mrs. Redden's toy shop.
She brushed at Wango with the broom, and the lively monkey made a rush for the back door of the store, as the front one was closed. "Here! Don't you dare go into my kitchen!" cried Mrs. Redden, as she ran after the monkey. "You'll upset everything there!" Wango chattered, and made funny faces. Then he turned and ran back, sliding right under Mrs. Redden's skirts, and nearly upsetting Bunny.
"Come over again," Sadie invited them. "We will!" promised Bunny. "Let's go home this way, across the lot," suggested Sue, as she and Bunny started out. "Oh, I don't want to," Bunny answered. "It's quicker to go by the street, and around the corner. And I want to look in Mrs. Redden's window, and see what she's got new."
"I want a lollypop and so does Bunny." Mrs. Redden opened the glass show-case in which the candy was kept. As she reached in her hand, to take out the lollypops, Bunny and Sue, standing in front, saw a brown, hairy paw also put into the case. And the brown paw, which was close to Mrs. Redden's hand, caught up a bunch of lollypops and quickly pulled them out. "Oh! oh! oh, dear!" screamed Mrs.
"Yes, he will," Bunny said. "I'll make him." "How?" Sue wanted to know. "This way!" exclaimed her brother, as he held out some of the peanuts he had bought at Miss Redden's store. "Here, Wango!" he called. "Come and get some peanuts!" "And I'll give him some caramels," cried Sue, as she held out some of her candy.
Pretty soon Sue said she was hungry, and Bunny also admitted that he was. "We'll coon be home now," he said. "And we'll stop at Mrs. Redden's, and get our balloons." "Then we'll have lots of fun!" cried Sue, clapping her hands. But the patch of woods through which the children had started to walk was larger than they thought. There seemed to be no end to it, the trees stretching on and on.
"Get in, and I'll give you a ride; that is if your mother will let you go," and he hurried into the post-office, which was near Mrs. Redden's store. "Get in, Sue," said Bunny. "We'll have a fine ride." "Oh, but he said if mamma would let us. We'll have to ask her." "Well, we can ask him to ride us up to our house, and we can tell mamma, there, that we're going," said Bunny.
Winkler came out, not Wango, for he had been tightly chained, after the fun he had had in Mrs. Redden's candy shop. "My! What a fine ride you are having!" called Mr. Winkler. "Oh! It's not a nice ride at all!" answered Sue. "We're being runned away with! Please stop Splash!" "Goodness me!" exclaimed Mr. Winkler. "A runaway! Well, I must stop it, of course!"
It was a day or two after this that, as Bunny and Sue were going down the street, to buy a little candy at Mrs. Redden's store, something queer happened. They each had five cents, that Aunt Lu had given them, but they were allowed to spend only one penny of it this day, as their mother did not wish them to eat too much candy. "I'm going to buy a lollypop they last longer," Bunny announced.
