“Yes, it’ll be fun to have another show,” decided George, when told that he could be in it with his alligator.
“And we’ll make Patter do a lot of tricks with Toby,” said Harry.
“Oh, I know how we can have a dandy act in the show!” exclaimed Bunny, as he and the other boys sat about the Brown barn talking matters over.
“How?” asked his chums.
“With the hat and stick trick,” went on Bunny. “One of you boys can dress up like a clown, and we’ll have a tank of water in the show.”
“Do you mean for one of us to push the clown into the tank of water?” asked George.
“That’ll be fun!” said Charlie.
“No, I don’t mean that,” said Bunny. “Listen! We’ll put a tank of water in the show, which we can have here in our barn, I guess. Then the clown, who’ll be one of you boys, can come out and throw a stick into the tank of water. He’ll want Patter to go in and bring out the stick, but Patter won’t, just as he wouldn’t to-day.”
“Well, what’s the trick in that?” George wanted to know.
“Wait,” went on Bunny. “I’ll come along dressed up like a tramp, and when I see that Patter won’t bring out the stick for the clown, I’ll laugh and say I can make him bring it out.”
