Punch.
Bunny made a bow, and then, instead of saying some of the funny things
that Mr. Punch in the show always says, Bunny sang a little song, while
Bunker Blue played on a mouth organ. This is what Bunny sang:
"This little show is for Aunt Lu.
Of course we're glad of others, too.
We want to cheer, and make her glad,
So she won't feel so very sad.
We hope she finds her diamond ring,
And this is all that I can sing!"
That was what Bunny sang, in his queer, "nosey" voice, to a queer little
tune that Bunker played on the mouth organ. And, when Bunny had
finished, he made a funny little bow, and said:
"I didn't make up that song. Bunker did!"
Then how everybody clapped their hands, and George Watson called out:
"Three cheers for Bunker Blue!"
Then began the real Punch and Judy show--that is, as much of it as Bunny
and Sue could manage.
"I wonder where Mrs. Punch is?" asked Bunny, twisting his head around.
"Here I is!" cried Sue, and up she popped. She had been stooping down so
she would not be seen until just the right time.
