Daddy Brown laughed, and a little later he and his wife, with Bunny and Sue, were safe at home. They went in without awakening Uncle Tad or Mary, the cook. The other people also went home. Mr. Winkler fastened Wango so he could not get loose, and soon everyone was asleep again, even the bell-ringing monkey.
In the morning Bunny and Sue went over to see the old sailor's pet. Wango jumped around on his perch and chattered, for he liked the children.
"I—I wish we'd had him in the circus at grandpa's farm," said Bunny, as he watched Wango do some of his tricks. "He would have made them all laugh."
"Yes," said Sue. "Wango is funny!" and she petted the little, brown animal.
When Bunny and Sue reached home again, munching on some cookies Miss Winkler had given them, they found their mother reading a letter.
"Good news, children!" Mother Brown cried. "Good news!"
"Oh, are we going back to grandpa's farm?" asked Bunny.
"No, not this time," said his mother. "This is a letter from Aunt Lu. She invites us to come to her home, in New York City, to spend the fall and winter. Oh, it's just a lovely invitation from Aunt Lu!"
