"Come on," she added to her two little girl friends. "We'll get our
dolls, and have a play party."
Sadie and Helen, who did not live far away, ran home and got their
dolls. Sue brought out hers, and the girls had a nice time on the shady
side of the porch. Mrs. Brown gave them some cookies, and some crackers,
which were cut in the shapes of different animals, and with these, and
some lemonade in little cups, Sue and her chums had lots of fun.
Bunny, Charlie and Harry went to the back yard, where there were some
old apple trees, with branches very close to the ground, so they were
easy to climb. Bunny had often done it, and so had his two little boy
friends.
As they were near the trees George Watson passed through the next lot,
on the other side of the fence from the Brown land.
"I can climb trees better than any of you," George said. "If you let me
come into your yard, Bunny, I'll show you how to climb."
"Oh, don't let him in!" exclaimed Charlie. "He threw the box of frogs at
us the time you had your party. Don't you let him in!"
"No, I wouldn't, either," added Harry.
