"We just want to get you and take you out so we can feed you," explained Bunny.
But the pussy did not seem to understand.
"You go one way and I'll go the other," suggested Bunny. "We can catch it between us."
"Like we did chickens at grandpa's farm once," agreed the little girl. She remembered how she and her brother had once thus closed in on some hens and a rooster that had got out of the chicken yard.
"That'll be a good way," Bunny said.
But when they tried it, he coming in toward the pussy from the right and Sue from the left, the little cat just scampered between the children with a "mew!" and there it was at the other end of the car!
"Oh, it's playing tag!" laughed Sue.
"I guess it is," agreed Bunny. "Come on, little cat!" called the boy. "We have to go home pretty soon. We can't stay here all the afternoon."
"Oh, Bunny, how funny!" laughed Sue. "We aren't going home!"
"Well, we're going on to Florida, and that'll be home for a while," said the little fellow. "Anyhow we've got to be going pretty soon or mother will be looking for us. Come on now, we'll try again."
