"Yes, I guess I wouldn't be much afraid," agreed Sue. "But it would be
dark; wouldn't it, Bunny?"
"Maybe there'd be a moon--or--or lightning bugs."
"I--I'd rather have a real light," said the little girl. "And even if
I'm not very much afraid in the dark, I can't stop being hungry, Bunny.
What do you eat when you camp in the woods?"
"Why--er--you eat--I guess you have to have sandwiches, or ice cream
cones, or something like that."
"I want a sandwich now!" Sue insisted.
Bunny shook his head.
"We can make-believe," he began.
"But my hungry isn't make-believe!" cried Sue. "It's real--I'm awful
hungry. Can't you find our house, Bunny?"
Her brother shook his head. Then, somehow or other, he decided that he
must do something besides stand there in the woods.
"Let's look for a path and walk along it," he said. "Maybe we can get
home that way."
There were several paths through the woods, and the children soon came
to one of them. They walked along it a little way, but it came to an end
in a place where the trees and bushes grew thick, making it quite dark.
