"My! It's terrible big!" said Sue, looking about the white canvas house. It was not so very large, but it seemed so to Sue.
"Just wait until you see the other," said Bunker. "The fair tent is three times as big as this."
And so it was. When that was put up in the meadow, near the army tent of Grandpa Brown's, the place began to look like a real circus ground.
"When are you going to have the show?" asked Bunny of Ben.
"Oh, in a few days now. Have you and Sue made up what you are going to do?"
"Yes, but it's a secret," Sue answered.
"So much the better!" laughed Ben. "You'll surprise the people."
The two tents were put up, and the big boys were getting ready for the circus. One night, about four days before it was to be held, Bunker Blue and Ben came in from where they had been, down near the tents, and looked anxiously at the sky.
"What's the matter," asked Bunny.
"Well," said Bunker, "it looks as if we would have a big rain storm. And if we do, and the meadow brook gets too full of water, it may wash the tents away."
