There seemed to be no end to it, the trees
stretching on and on.
"Where's home?" Sue asked, after a bit. She was tired of walking.
Bunny stopped and looked about him.
"I can't see our house from here," he said. "but it's only a little way
now. I guess maybe we'd better go out on the road, Sue. We can see
better there."
But the road, too, seemed to have disappeared. Bunny and Sue went this
way and that, but no road could they find. They listened, but they could
not hear the clanging of the trolley car gong. It was very still and
quiet in the woods, except, now and then, when Splash would run through
the dried leaves, looking for another mud-turtle, perhaps.
"I'm hungry!" Sue exclaimed. "I want to go home, Bunny!"
"So do I," said the little fellow, "but I don't seem to know where our
home is."
"Oh! Are we--are we lost?" whispered Sue.
Bunny nodded.
"I--I guess so," he answered.
CHAPTER XII
FOUND
Getting lost in the woods is different from getting lost in the city. In
the city, or even in a little country town, there is someone of whom you
can ask the way to your house.
