"Oh, yes!" cried Bunny. "That will be fine! But it will take an awful lot of talcum powder to make a big horse all white, Sue."
"Well, I'll just make him spotted white then. I've got some talcum powder of my own, and it smells awful good. I guess a horse would like it; don't you, Bunny?"
"I guess so, Sue. But come out to the barn."
Grandpa Brown had two barns on his farm. One was where the horses and cows were kept, and the other held wagons, carriages and machinery. It was in the horse-barn where the children went—the barn where there were big piles of sweet-smelling hay.
"I can fall on the hay, 'stead of falling in a net, like the circus men do," said Bunny.
"Anyhow, we haven't any circus net," suggested Sue.
"No," agreed Bunny. "But the hay is just as bouncy. I'm going to jump in it!"
He climbed up on the edge of the hay-mow, or place where the hay is kept, and jumped into the dried grass. For hay is just dried grass, you know.
Down into the hay bounced Bunny, and Sue bounced after him. The children jumped up and down in the hay, laughing and shouting. Then they played around the barn, trying to pretend that they were already having the circus in it.
"Oh, it will be such fun!" cried Sue.
