Wango minded Mr. Winkler very well, he did not always do what Miss
Winkler told him to do.
As Sue walked on, still nibbling her cookie, she kept looking down at
the ground, until at last Bunny asked her:
"What are you looking at Sue--trying not to step on ants?" For this was
a game the children often played.
"Not this time," Sue answered. "I was looking to see if I could find
Aunt Lu's ring."
"Why, she didn't lose it down here!" Bunny said, in surprise.
"Maybe she did," returned Sue. "She thought she lost it around our
house, but she looked, and we all looked, and we didn't find it, so
maybe it was lost down here. I'm going to look, and if we find it we'll
get a present."
"I'll help you look," said Bunny kindly, "but I don't believe it's down
here."
The two children walked along a little farther, with their eyes
searching the ground, but they saw no golden ring.
"Oh, I tell you what let's do!" suddenly exclaimed Bunny.
"What?" asked Sue, eager to have some fun.
"Let's go back home, and I'll put the lobster claw on my nose, and we'll
play Punch and Judy.
