"Well, it's just the same, 'most," said Sue, as she went on tying her bit of carpet to a board. "We're making some nice, soft reserved seats for grandpa and grandma, and mother and daddy."
"Oh, I see!" laughed Bunker. "That's a good idea. We can make soft seats for the ladies, Ben. We'll get some more pieces of old carpet and have a lot of reserved seats."
And this the big boys did. Bunny and Sue, little as they were, had given them a good idea.
And now began the real work of getting ready for the circus. That is the boys began taking into the smaller tent queer looking boxes and crates. These boxes and crates were covered with cloth or paper, so no one could see what was in them.
"What are they?" asked Sue, as she and Bunny stood outside the smaller tent, for Bunker would not let them go inside.
"Oh, those are some of the wild animals," said the red-haired boy.
"Really?" asked Sue, her eyes opening wide.
"Well—really-make-believe," laughed Bunker.
"And are the white mice there?" asked Bunny.
"Yes, the white mice are in the tent," said Bunker.
