"That's so. I never thought maybe Splash could show us the way," said
Bunny. "We'll try it! Home, Splash!" he cried. "Home!"
The dog barked again, and wagged his tail. He ran along the path a short
distance, and then stopped, looking back at Bunny and Sue as if asking:
"Well, why don't you come with me if you want to get home?"
"Oh, Bunny, I believe he does know the way!" Sue cried. "Come on, we'll
follow him!"
On ran Splash, turning every now and then to look around and bark, as if
telling the children not to worry--that he would lead them safely home.
And he did, or, if not exactly all the way home, the faithful dog made
his way out of the woods, until he came to the main road, along which
ran the trolley track.
"Oh, now I know where we are!" cried Bunny, in delight, as he saw
several houses ahead of them. "Why, Sue, we're right on our own street.
We weren't much lost!"
"Well, I'm glad we're found," Sue said.
It was easy to get home now. All the while Bunny and Sue had been only a
little way from the road which led to their home, but the trees were so
thick they could not find the right path.
