Punch, of the Punch and Judy show. For when boys, or girls either, hang
by their feet, with their heads upside down, all the blood seems to run there if they hang too long. And that was what was happening to Bunny Brown. "Are you _sure_ you isn't playin' circus?" asked Sue. "No--I--I'm not playing," answered Bunny. "Hurry for grandpa! Oh, how my head hurts!" "You look just like the circus man," said Sue. For one of the men in the circus Bunny and Sue had seen a few days before had hung by his toes from a trapeze, upside down, just as Bunny was hanging, with his head pointing toward the ground, and his feet near the top of the tent. But of course the circus man was used to it, and it did not hurt his head as it did Bunny's. "Hurry, Sue!" begged the little boy. "All right. I'll get grandpa," Sue cried, as she ran off toward the tree where Grandpa Brown was picking peaches. "Oh, Grandpa!" cried the little girl. "Come--come hurry up. Bunny--Bunny--he----" Sue was so out of breath, from having run so fast, and from trying to talk so fast, that she could hardly speak. But Grandpa Brown knew something was the matter. |
