But no one was
hurt.
Then all the children crowded around Bunny and Sue to look at the funny
things the two children were wearing--old clothes, pinned up, and with
make-believe patches on them.
"Let me take your funny nose, Bunny," begged Charlie Star. "I want to
see how it looks on me."
Bunny handed over the lobster claw, but it dropped to the barn floor,
and before either he or Charlie could pick it up, some one had stepped
on it.
"Crack!" it went, for it was made of thin shell, not very strong. And
there it lay in pieces on the floor.
"Oh, dear" cried Charlie. "I've broken your nose, Bunny!"
"Well, I'm glad it wasn't my real one," and Bunny put his hand up to his
face, while Charlie stooped over to pick up the pieces of the lobster
claw, hoping there was enough left to make a little nose for the next
time.
And then suddenly Bunny, who was watching Charlie, gave a cry, and
reached for something that glittered among the pieces of the red lobster
claw.
"Oh, look! look!" fairly shouted the little fellow.
