CHAPTER III
THE BIG AUTOMOBILE
"Bunny! Bunny! Look! Look! The hand-organ man's monkey has run away!" cried Sue.
"Yes!" answered Bunny. "Let's run after him! Maybe we can catch him, and the man will let us play the organ!"
That was all Bunny Brown and his sister Sue thought about—doing whatever they happened to think of first, and this time it was racing after the runaway monkey.
For the hand-organ man's monkey was really running away. He was frightened at Wango, I think, for Wango was larger than he, though Wango was quite gentle, even if he did make lots of trouble, such as upsetting the jars in Mrs. Redden's candy store.
"Here! Come back! Come back!" cried the Italian to his monkey, speaking in what sounded to Bunny and Sue very queer talk. But then the Italian could speak his own language well, even if he could not talk the kind Bunny and Sue used.
"We'll get your monkey for you, Mr. Organ-man!" cried Bunny. "Come on, Sue!"
"Well, don't run so fast—I can't keep up to you!" called the little girl. "Wait for me, Bunny!"
Bunny turned and clasped Sue's hand in his own. He did not want to leave his little sister behind. Each child still held a half-eaten lollypop.
