"Some day we'll get up a real show, and charge money," said Bunny, as he
put away the lobster claw to use another time.
Not far from the Brown's house was a small river that flowed into the
bay. Part of the Brown land was right on the edge of this river and at a
small dock Mr. Brown kept, tied up, a rowboat which he sometimes used to
go fishing in, or to go after crabs, which are something like lobsters,
only smaller. They are just as good to eat when they are cooked, and
they turn red when you boil them.
One day Bunny and Sue went down to the edge of the river. They asked
Aunt Lu to go with them, but she said she had a headache, and wanted to
lie down.
"Don't go far away, children," called Mrs. Brown after the two tots, as
they wandered down near the little stream.
"We won't," promised Bunny, and he really meant it. But neither he nor
Sue knew what was going to happen.
It was quite warm that day, and, as Bunny and Sue sat in the shade of a
tree on the bank of the river, the little boy said:
"Oh, Sue, wouldn't it be nice if we could go on the river in the boat?"
"Yes," said his sister, "but mother said we weren't to.
