"Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue"

Everything was ready for it, Bunny had gone over his part again
and again until he did very well indeed. Sue, also, was very, very good
in what she did, so the other girls said. Sadie West, who was older,
helped Sue.
By this time, of course, the grown folks knew that some sort of a show
was going on in the Brown barn, and they had promised to come. And there
were so many children who wanted to see what it was going to be like
that Bunny and Sue did not know where they were all going to sit.
"And oh! what a lot of pins we'll have," said Sue, for all the children
paid pins for their tickets.
But Bunker Blue and George Watson made seats by putting boards across
some boxes, so no one would have to stand up.
Then came the day of the show. Bunny was dressed up in some old clothes,
and so was Sue. She did not put hers on, though, until after she had
helped take tickets, and sell them, at the barn door. Then Bunker Blue
took her place, and Sue dressed to help Bunny.
Bunny was inside the little theatre that Bunker had made.
