"It will be nicer sleeping here than on the ground, like we did in the tent at home that night," said Bunny to Sue.
"Yes, I guess it will," she answered. "My dollie won't catch cold in a nice bed."
"Did she catch cold before?" Bunny wanted to know.
"Well, she had the sniffle-snuffles, and that's almost like a cold," Sue answered.
In the second-sized tent the dining table had been set up, and the chairs put around ready for the first meal, which would be supper. Mother Brown got the dishes out of the box, and called:
"Now, Bunny and Sue, let me see you set the table."
She had taught them at home how to put on the plates, knives, forks, spoons, cups, saucers and whatever was needed, and now Bunny and Sue did this, as their share of the work, while Bunker Blue, and the older folk, were busy doing different things.
In the cooking tent the oil stove was set up and lighted, to make sure it burned well. Then Camp Rest-a-While looked just like its name—a place where boys and girls, as well as men and women could come and have a nice rest, near the beautiful lake.
When everything was nearly finished, and it was about time to start getting supper, a man came rowing along the shore of the lake in a boat. He called to Mr. Brown:
"Hey, there! Is this where you want your boat left?"
