"Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue"

And next Bunny and Sue sang together. The
children thought it was fine, and the grown folks clapped their hands,
and stamped with their feet, which is what people do in a real theatre
when they like the play.
When Bunny and Sue made their bow, after singing the song together, they
both bobbed out of sight behind the curtain.
"Is that--is that all?" asked Tommie Tracy, in his shrill little voice,
from where he sat in the front row.
"Yep. That's all," answered Bunny. "The show is over, and we hope you
all like it; 'specially Aunt Lu."
"Oh, I just loved it," she answered. "And to think you got it all up for
me! It was just fine!"
"Do it all over again!" said Tommie. "I liked it too, but I want some
more. Do it again, Bunny!"
"I--I can't," Bunny answered, as he came out from inside the box that
Bunker Blue had made into a theatre. Bunny had taken off his lobster
claw nose, and held it dangling from the strings by which it had been
tied around his head.
Suddenly one of the planks, across two boxes, broke, and some of the
boys, who had been sitting on it, fell down in a heap.
