"Oh, I saw it! I saw it!" cried Mun Bun. "It's a great big bear! He came right up out of the lake! Oh, come and look, Rose!" and he ran to take his sister's hand, while Margy hid behind Violet.
"What is it, Mun Bun?" asked Rose.
"Oh, I saw something big—an animal—I—I guess it's a bear—come up out of the lake!" cried the little fellow. "Come and look!"
CHAPTER XVII
A RED COAT
When Mun Bun had said that a bear had come up out of the lake, at first Rose felt she was going to be frightened, but when she saw that her littlest brother and sister were also afraid, Rose made up her mind that she must be brave.
She looked at Vi, and Vi was a little frightened, too, but not as much so as Mun Bun and Margy.
"What was it you saw, Mun?" asked Vi, even now not able to stop asking questions. "Where was it?"
"It was a big bear, I guess," answered the little fellow.
