"Yes," answered Mart kindly.
So the acrobat and Bunny went out to the little barn, and there, with ropes and straps, Mart made a trapeze, such as you have often seen on the stage or in a circus. On the floor of the barn Mart spread a pile of hay.
"Is that for our pony to come out and eat?" Bunny wanted to know.
"Oh, no," answered Mart. "That's to make something soft for me to fall on, in case I slip. In the circus the performers have nets under them to catch them in case they slip. But you can't have nets in a garage very well, so I use the hay."
Bunny watched his friend swing to and fro, sometimes by his hands and sometimes by his toes, on the trapeze in the barn. And Mart was so sure and careful that he didn't slip once. So he didn't fall down on the hay.
"Did you ever fall?" asked Bunny, as he watched the young acrobat swing to and fro, with his head down.
"Oh, yes indeed! More than once. And once I broke my leg so I couldn't go on the stage for over a month."
"I don't want to break my leg," said Bunny.
"I hope you never do," answered Mart. "But, of course, as you aren't going on a trapeze you won't fall and break anything."
"I wish I could go on a trapeze," murmured Bunny. "I could do some of the things you do I guess."
