"Oh, that's a good riddle!" laughed Bunny. "I'm going to fool Bunker on that."
"If the water pail upset and spilled on him then the water would touch him," said Sue, after a moment of thought. "And if he fell in the water he'd be wet."
"Yes, but you aren't supposed to do that in riddles," returned Captain Ross.
After supper on the Fairy, Uncle Tad took the two children on shore, Bunny and Sue having secured their mother's permission to ride on the merry-go-round. It was a big affair, playing jolly tunes, and the animals were large and gaily painted.
Bunny and Sue had a number of rides, always begging for "just one more," until Uncle Tad finally said:
"No, that's enough! You'll be ill if you whirl around any more. Come, we'll walk around and look at things, and then we'll go back to the boat."
He led them around to see the other attractions at the little park near the big hotel. Somehow or other, Bunny wandered away from Uncle Tad and Sue while Sue and the old soldier were looking at a man blowing colored glass into birds, feathers, balloons and other fantastic shapes.
But finally Uncle Tad said:
"Come, Sue, we must be going now. Where's Bunny?"
"He was here a minute ago," answered Bunny's sister.
