CHAPTER XV
LADDIE'S FUNNY RIDDLE
"Doesn't it make a nice noise?" asked Mun Bun of Margy.
"Terrible nice," agreed the little girl. "What makes it?"
Mun Bun looked at the whistling wagon. It was, as I have said, a two-wheeled cart, and was pushed by a man who had gold rings in his ears. His face was very dark, too, but he smiled pleasantly at the children.
"It's a teakettle, that's what makes it," said Mun Bun, as he looked. "See the steam coming out, just like it does out of the kettle in Parker's kitchen," and he pointed to something on one end of the cart.
