Down the second alley walked the children. They were not so frightened now. Hope was in both their beating hearts, for they thought they would come out on some street that would lead them home, or at least to some path by which they could reach their father’s office.
But, to the surprise of Bunny and Sue, when they reached the end of the second alley, instead of finding that it led into a regular street, they discovered that it turned into still another alley.
“It’s like—now it’s like—a puzzle,” said Sue, trying to find just the right word to describe it.
“Yes, it is like a puzzle—or like that funny thing—a maze I guess they call it—where daddy took us once when we went to the big fair,” said Bunny.
“But how can we get out?” Sue wanted to know.
“I guess we go this way,” her brother answered.
They turned the next corner they reached, and then they both stopped short in surprised disappointment.
“Oh!” exclaimed Bunny Brown.
“Oh, dear!” sighed his sister Sue.
“We’re right back in the same place from which we started!” went on Bunny.
