Bunny was inside the little theatre that Bunker had made. It had a curtain that opened when Bunny pulled the string. He had his funny lobster claw with him.
"And am I to come in for nothing?" asked Aunt Lu, as she walked into the barn.
"Yes," said Bunny, putting his head out between the curtains, for he was not all dressed yet. "The show is for you, Aunt Lu. So you will not feel so sad."
"About your lost diamond ring," added Sue.
"Bless your hearts! What dear children you are!" said Aunt Lu, and something glistened in her eyes as bright as a diamond—perhaps it was a tear—but if so it was a tear of joy.
"All ready for the show now!" cried Bunker. "Please all sit down!"
Down they sat on the benches, some men and some ladies, but mostly children, friends of Bunny and Sue.
"Are you all ready, Bunny?" asked Bunker, going close to the little theatre.
"Yes, I'm all ready."
"Have you got your lobster claw on?"
