"Hide-and-go-to-seek," said Sadie.
The others liked this game, so they began to play it. Helen covered her
eyes with her arms, so she could not see where the others hid, and began
counting.
"When I count up to fifty, I'm coming to find you," she said, "and
whoever I find first will have to blind next time, and hunt for the rest
of us."
Off they all ran to hide. Sue stooped down to hide behind a lilac bush,
near "home," which was the side porch. Whoever reached "home" before
Helen did, after she had started on her search, would be "in free."
"Ready or not, I'm coming!" called Helen, after she had counted fifty,
and she began to look for the hiding ones.
"She'll not find me," said Bunny Brown to himself. "I'm going to hide in
a funny place. She'll never find me!"
And where do you think he hid? It was in a queer place--down in an empty
rain-water barrel, that stood back of the house. Bunny climbed up into
it by standing on a box, and, once inside, he crouched down on the
bottom, where anyone would have had to come very close, and look over
the edge, to see him.
