"No, he didn't, Sue. He only told us to keep away from the wheelbarrow, and I am. I won't go near it. But we'll get the pot of paint, and stripe the calf green."
"All right," agreed Sue. "I'll hold the paint-pot, and you can dip your brush in."
Not meaning to do anything wrong, of course, Bunny and Sue hurried to get the pot of paint. Henry had not come back. Leaning over the edge of the calf's pen, Bunny dipped the brush in the paint, and began striping the baby cow.
"Baa-a-a-a-a!" went the little animal, and the old cow went: "Moo!"
CHAPTER X
THE OLD ROOSTER
Again and again Bunny Brown dipped the brush in the green paint the hired man had left, and stripe after stripe did the little fellow put on the calf.
"She'll be a regular circus zebra when I'm done," said Bunny Brown to his sister Sue. Both children laughed in glee.
"Are you going to paint both sides of the calf, Bunny?"
