"Yes, I guess that's best," George said.
Mrs. Brown came running out when the three boys, who were a little frightened, told her Bunny was caught in a tree.
"Oh, is he hanging head down?" asked Aunt Lu, as she hurried out after
Bunny's mother.
"No, he's standing up, but his leg is down in a hole," said George. "We can't get him out."
But Mrs. Brown easily set matters right.
She put her hand down in the tree-hole, beside Bunny's leg, the hole being big enough for this. Then, with her fingers, Mrs. Brown unbuttoned Bunny's shoe, and said:
"Now pull out your foot."
Bunny could easily do this, as it was his shoe that was caught, and not his foot. His foot was smaller than his shoe, you see.
Carefully he lifted his foot and leg out of he hole of the tree, and then his mother helped him to the ground.
"But what about my shoe?" Bunny asked, with a queer look on his face.
"Has my shoe got to stay in the tree, Mother?"
