Bunny paused and looked at the strip between the two islands, one large, on which they then were, the other smaller. Nothing seemed to be in the strip of water.
"I guess it's all right," said Bunny Brown, as he finished rolling up his trousers.
Into the water he waded, and as Sue did not want to be left behind she followed, holding up her dress and skirt to keep them dry. She hurried over the strip of water, which was quite shallow, only coming to the knees of the children.
"Now maybe we'll find some alligators here," Bunny said hopefully, as he started along the shore of the second island, Sue following.
Again Sue hoped Bunny would not have any luck finding the scaly creatures, but she did not say so.
"How long you going to stay here, Bunny?" asked Sue, when they had walked almost around the small island. "I'm getting hungry again."
"Well, we'll go back pretty soon and eat the rest of the lunch," agreed Bunny. "But I wish—"
He suddenly stopped what he was saying and looked sharply ahead. Sue looked also, and what she saw made her rush to the side of her brother, cling to his arm and cry:
"There they are! There are the alligators!"
"Yes!" exclaimed Bunny. "They're sure enough alligators!"
