But it was only a little fire, after all, though quite a crowd gathered. It was upstairs in a store, and it was soon out. Bunny and Sue started back, for they had not come far. They were getting so they knew their way around pretty well now.
As they passed a restaurant, or place to eat, they saw, in the window, a man baking griddle cakes on a gas stove. He would let the cakes brown on one side, toss them up in the air, making them turn a somersault, catch them on a flat spoon, and then they would brown on the other side.
"Oh Bunny!" cried Sue. "Wouldn't you like some of those?"
"I would," said Bunny. "Come on in and we'll have some. I'm hungry!"
He and Sue went into the restaurant, and sat down at one of the tables. A girl, with a big white apron on over her black dress, brought them each a glass of water and a napkin, and said:
"Well, children, what do you want?"
"We want dinner," said Bunny. "We're hungry, and we want some of those cakes the man in the window is baking."
