"Then Wango must be an adventure," said Bunny, "for lots happened to him." It was two days after the monkey had gotten in the candy-store that Harry Bentley, Charlie Star, Sadie West and Helen Newton came over to play with Bunny and his sister Sue. "What shall we play?" asked Bunny. "Hide-and-go-to-seek," said Sadie. The others liked this game, so they began to play it.
The wig made Wango look like an old man. "And he has on one of my jackets, too!" exclaimed the actor. "It's one I use in some of my stage plays, children, where I have to have a very short, little jacket. No wonder you thought a tramp was in Miss Winkler's kitchen! Wango, are you trying to be an impersonator, such as I used to be?" asked Mr. Treadwell, laughing and shaking his finger at Mr.
Maybe she has gone down to show Wango her new doll." "Oh, no, Sue wouldn't go down there alone, Bunny. See if you can find her." Bunny went to the front gate and looked up and down the street. "I don't see her, Mother," he called back. "Oh, dear! I wonder where she can be?" said Mrs. Brown. "I'll find her," Bunny said. "Come on, Splash!" he called to his dog. "We're going to find Sue; she's lost!"
"But I'd train him. It would be fun to have a monkey in a store, wouldn't it, Sue?" "Lots of fun!" agreed Sue. "My goodness, children!" laughed Mary, as they entered the kitchen with the pepper, "it took you quite a while, and I was in a hurry. Didn't Mrs. Golden have any pepper?" "Yes, but Wango got in the store," explained Bunny. "When I keep a store I'm going to keep a monkey, too!"
I'll go up and get the monkey for you!" As he spoke he took off his coat; and though the day was cold Bunny noticed that the strange boy wore no overcoat. Hanging his jacket on a low limb of the tree which held Wango, the boy began to climb. And, as he did so, Sue pulled her brother's sleeve. "Do you know who that is?" she whispered. "Who?" asked Bunny Brown. "That boy climbing the tree.
"I guess Wango is doing things yet!" cried Sue. "I guess so," agreed Tom Milton. "Come on, let's go in the side door and we can see better," he proposed. Tom seemed to know the best way to this "free show," and he led the others. Bunny, his sister, and their boy and girl friends went down a little alley, and thus into the store by a side entrance.
"Well, how are you going to get him down out of there?" asked Mr. Snowden. "Looks as if I'd have to climb after him," said Mr. Winkler. "When I was a sailor on a ship, and had Wango for a pet, he used to climb up the mast and rigging and I'd go after him. That was when I was younger. I don't believe I could climb that tree and get him now."
She brought a handful from another show case, and gave them to Bunny, who held them up so the monkey could see them. "Come and get the nuts, Wango!" Bunny called. The monkey chattered, and made funny faces, but he did not come down. He seemed to like the lollypops better, and, also, his perch on the shelf, he thought, was safer than one on the floor. "What shall we do?" asked Mrs. Redden.
"He broke loose from his new chain," said the old sailor, "and I have been looking all over for him. I am glad I have found him, and I will pay for all the candy he spoiled." "Well, if you do that I can't find any fault," said the store-lady. "But he certainly gave me a great fright." "And he wouldn't even come down for peanuts," cried Bunny. "Wango isn't very good to-day," said Mr. Winkler.
"And I'll tell Jed, when he comes home, how good you were to bring Wango back not that I want the creature, though. Well, it's cleared off, I'm glad to see. And now maybe you two will have a piece of cake for yourselves. I won't give Wango any, though!" "Yes'm, I could eat a bit," said Bunny, with a smile. "I like it, too," added Sue. The children were soon having a lunch of cake and milk.
