Splash went all right, but just as when Bunny had hitched him to the
boat, that was stuck on the island, the harness was not strong enough,
and it broke, so that Splash ran off, with the straps and ropes dangling
from him.
"I guess I'm too heavy for him to pull," said Bunny, as he got out of
the wagon.
"You could have one of my dolls to ride in the wagon," offered Sue.
"Take an old one, and I don't care if she falls out. She wouldn't be too
heavy for Splash to pull."
"I'll try it," Bunny said.
Once again he tied the ropes about Splash, and the little express wagon,
and this time, when Bunny walked along beside the dog, Splash really did
pull the wagon along, giving the doll a ride.
But Bunny did not think this was much fun. He wanted to ride in the
wagon himself.
"I'm going to make a big, strong harness," he said, and off he went to
look for more rope.
"Well, I'm going to get the tables ready," Sue said. "I'm going to pick
some flowers for them."
Aunt Lu, with the help of the cook, had made the wooden tables, which
were boards over boxes.
