They found a pump, where they had a drink of water. Then they tossed sticks into the lake, to make believe they were boats. There were also swings in the shade, and in these Bunny and another boy had a fine time.
Sue said she did not care to swing just then. She had two dolls, one under each arm, and she walked about, looking for some little girl to whom she might lend one, so they could "play house" together.

"Wouldn't you like to play dolls?"
"Yes—yes, I would, but I haven't any doll."
"I'll let you take one of mine." Sue held out her best doll to the little girl. It is always polite, you know, to give company, and your friends, the best that you have, instead of keeping it yourself, no matter how much you want it.
"Oh, what a lovely doll!" exclaimed the little girl, her eyes shining bright.
"Her name is Ethel," said Sue.
"Why, that's my name!" exclaimed the little girl in the blue dress. "Did you know that?"
