"And may I play with my e-lec-tric train while you're away?" asked Bunny.
"Yes, but be very careful of it," said his father. "It is strong, but it can be broken or put out of order. So if you play with it take it to some level place in the woods, and be careful how you set up the track. Don't make too big a one."
Bunny promised that he would not, and soon after Mr. Brown had gone away in his automobile, the children, Sue taking her Teddy bear and Bunny his toy train, started into the woods to play.
"Don't go too far," called their mother. "You must hear me when I call you to dinner. These woods are very big, you know."
The children wandered off on a woodland path until, after trying, they found they could just hear their mother's voice.
"And here will be a fine place to play," said Bunny, when they reached a shady level place on top of a little hill that led down to the lake that was near Camp Rest-a-While.
"It will be all right if we don't fall down the hill," said Sue.
"Oh, we'll keep away back from the edge," decided Bunny.
Then he began setting up the track for his toy train of cars, while Sue made a comfortable place for her Teddy bear to sleep, first showing the animal with the electric eyes all about the woods, in which were the big trees and the low bushes.
Bunny set his track around in a circle, and after connecting the strong batteries to the track he put the electric locomotive on and coupled together the cars. Then, when he turned the switch, the engine and train ran along the rails very swiftly.
