BUNNY BROWN AND HIS SISTER SUE PLAYING CIRCUS

- LAURA LEE HOPE

Bunny and his sister, with their papa and mamma, were spending the summer on the farm of Grandpa Brown away out in the country. The children liked it on the farm very much, for they had good fun. A few days before they had gone to the circus, and had seen so many wonderful things that they talked about them from morning until night, and, sometimes, even after they got to bed.
But just now, for a little while, they were not talking or thinking about the circus, though up to the time when Grandpa Brown came around the house with the basket on his arm, Bunny had been telling Sue about the man who hung by his heels from a trapeze that was fast to the top of the big tent. A trapeze, you know, is something like a swing, only it has a stick for a seat instead of a board.
"I could hang by a trapeze if I wanted to," Bunny had said to Sue.
"Oh, Bunny Brown! You could not!" Sue had cried.
"I could if I had the trapeze," he had said.
