would be caught. Sue did not swing on the trapeze, nor jump, as Bunny
had done.

Bunker and Ben put up more trapezes in the barn--big ones for
themselves. Ben could swing and turn somersaults and drop off into the
hay from away up near the roof of the barn. Bunker could not do quite as
well as this, but, for all that, he was pretty good.

"Will you two act in our circus?" asked Bunny of Bunker and Ben.

"Why, yes, I guess I will, if your grandfather lets me stay here on this
nice farm," Ben answered.

"Oh, he'll let you stay," Bunny said. "I'll tell him we want you in our
circus."

"All right," laughed Ben. "Bunker and I will practise some trapeze acts
for your show."

For a little while longer Bunny and Sue played about in the barn. Bunny
found an old strawberry crate, with a cover on.

"This will make a wild animal cage," he said. "The slats are just like
the bars of a cage, and the animal can look through."

"What wild animal will you put in there?" asked Bunker.

"Oh, I guess I'll put in Splash. He is going to be half a blue striped
tiger."
