"We won't have any fun like the hardware store shelf falling down on you," laughed Sue, as she remembered the queer accident.
"No, I don't want anything like that," said Bunny. "Once is enough."
Early the next morning the children were ready for school. But, almost at the last minute, Bunny could not find his large pencil box.
"Where did you have it last?" his mother asked him.
"Oh, I remember! I saw it in the barn!" exclaimed Sue.
"That's right—we were playing school there day before yesterday," said Bunny. "I'll get it!"
He ran to the barn, got the pencil box, thrust it into his bag with his books, and trotted along with Sue.
Having to hunt for his pencil box at almost the last moment nearly made Bunny and Sue late for school. But they slipped into their seats just as the last bell was ringing. After the morning exercises, Bunny placed his pencil box and the books he did not need to use right away in his desk and went to his reading class.
It was when Bunny was doing his turn at reading up near the front platform that Sadie West, who sat in the seat next to Bunny, gave a sudden little cry.
"What is the matter, Sadie?" asked Miss Bradley, the teacher.
