"Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue"

Redden. "He will spoil
all the candy in my shop!"
"This is too bad!" exclaimed the sailor, "Wango, behave yourself! You
are a bad monkey! Up with you!"
Wango jumped up on his master's shoulder, and hung his head. I really
think he was ashamed of what he had done.
"He broke loose from his new chain," said the old sailor, "and I have
been looking all over for him. I am glad I have found him, and I will
pay for all the candy he spoiled."
"Well, if you do that I can't find any fault," said the store-lady. "But
he certainly gave me a great fright."
"And he wouldn't even come down for peanuts," cried Bunny.
"Wango isn't very good to-day," said Mr. Winkler. "I must get a stronger
chain for him, I think. Now I'll take him home, and, Mrs. Redden, when
you find out how much candy he spoiled, and how many jars he broke, I
will come and pay you."
"All right," answered Mrs. Redden. Then the sailor took his monkey home,
and the store-lady, after she had given Bunny and Sue the lollypops they
came for, began to clean up her place.
