"Come on!" cried Bunny. "We'll look at it, too. We can go to the circus later. Come on, Sue!"
They found a good place where they could watch the start of the parade. They saw the horses, elephants and camels. They saw the cages of lions and tigers, and even bears. And they saw the big steam piano, playing its funny tooting tunes, rumbling along. The steam piano was the last thing in the parade.
"Now we'll go and see if we can find some one to let us in the show," said Bunny, when the gay procession had passed.
"But I'm hungry!" exclaimed Sue. "I got five cents, Bunny. Can't I have some peanuts or—or pink lemonade?"
"Why—why, I guess so," said the little boy. "I got five cents, too. I'll tell you what we can do, Sue. You buy five cents worth of peanuts, and give me half. I'll buy a glass of pink lemonade, and give you half. We can get two straws. You can drink half and I'll drink half."
"All right, Bunny. Only you mustn't drink faster than I do, 'cause I'm awful thirsty."
"I'll let you drink more than half then, Sue."
The children bought the peanuts and lemonade, and when they had finished drinking the red lemonade through two straws, and were chewing the peanuts, they saw one of the circus men, with a long whip, come up to the two Gypsies with the horses.
What was said Bunny and Sue could not hear, but they saw the circus man walk off, while the two Gypsies, leading their horses, went after him.
"Oh, Sue!" exclaimed Bunny. "There go grandpa's horses!"
