But the fat man did not ask any more questions. For, just then, a band began to play music, and the horse wanted to hurry away. So the fat man helped Bunny and Sue out of the wagon, and drove off with a wave of his big hand. Splash jumped out himself.
"Now we'll go over and see the circus," said Bunny.
And oh! what a lot there was for him and Sue to look at. There were big white tents, and from the poles were flags of all colors, fluttering in the wind. In another tent, the sides of which were raised up to let in the air, were many horses and ponies.
In another tent there was a long table, on which were many dishes, and seated on benches, were men and women eating at the table.
"Oh look, Bunny!" suddenly cried Sue. "There's your elephant!"
Bunny looked, and saw a big elephant, pushing a large red wagon, by putting his head against it, while some men steered it.
"Are you going to water that elephant?" asked Sue.
"I—I don't know," replied Bunny. Now that he saw how very big an elephant was he began to think that, after all, perhaps he had better water just a pony, as Sue was going to do.
"When can we go in the circus, Bunny?" asked Sue, as she heard the band playing again. It was not time for the show to begin. In fact, the parade had not yet started, but Bunny and Sue did not know this. The circus was just getting ready to have the parade. "I want to go in and see the animals," went on Sue.
"Have to get a ticket first," said Bunny. "I'll ask a man to let me water a pony. I guess an elephant is too big."
