Then Aunt Lu rode past the kind animal-man's place, and she and Mother Brown thanked him for his care of the children.
"We couldn't have a monkey and a parrot, could we, Mother?" asked Bunny, as they left the animal store.
"No, dear. I'm afraid not."
"I didn't think we could," Bunny went on. "But when we get back home, where Henry, the elevator boy, can't see 'em, Sue and I is going to have a monkey and a parrot."

BUNNY FLIES A KITE
Mother Brown and Aunt Lu laughed when Bunny said this. Bunny's and Sue's mother and aunt were glad to have the children safely with them again. They were soon at Aunt Lu's home.
"Whatever made you two children go into that animal store?" asked Mrs. Brown. "Aunt Lu and I thought you were right behind us, going to take the boat for Coney Island. Now we can't go."
"We can go some other day," declared Bunny. "You see we just stopped to look in the animal store window, Mother, and then we thought we'd go in to see how much a monkey and a parrot cost."
