“Maybe he’ll get used to it after a bit,” said Bunny.
“Anyhow, he does a lot of dandy tricks, and we sure can have him in a show,” decided Charlie.
“We’ll have Toby in, too,” said Sue. The boys liked Sue and let her play with them as often as she wished. And as she and Bunny were nearly always together, the chums of one were the chums of the other.
One day when Bunny and Sue were playing with their dog in the yard their mother called to them, saying:
“I wish you children would go to the store for me.”
“We’ll go!” cried Sue.
“And we’ll take Patter,” said Bunny.
The store was so near at hand that it was not worth while to harness Toby to the pony cart. And so, hand in hand, with Patter running along, now in front and now behind them, Bunny and Sue went to the grocery store.
“Hello, children!” called Mr. Gordon, who kept the store. “What will it be to-day?”
Mr. Gordon always asked the children that.
