"Want a ride?" asked the man, as he swung his taxicab up to the curb.
"Yes," answered Bunny. "My sister—Sue and I—we want a ride."
"Where to?" asked the man, as he helped the children up inside the car.
"Oh, we want a nice, long ride," said Bunny. "A nice, long ride; don't we, Sue?"
"Yep," answered the little girl.
CHAPTER XII
BUNNY ORDERS DINNER
You may think it strange that the man on the taxicab automobile would so quickly help Bunny Brown and his sister up into his machine and give them a ride. And that, without asking for any money.
But it was not at all strange in New York. There are many children in that big city, and often they go about by themselves, some who are no larger than Bunny and Sue. They get used to looking out for themselves, learn how to make their way about, and they often go in taxicabs alone.
