"Of course make-believe," answered Sue. "I couldn't sit on your little
cars.

"Maybe the Teddy bear could," she added.

"Oh, let's try," said Bunny. "Then we could give him a truly, really
ride."

The Teddy bear was quite large, but not very heavy, and by stretching it
along three cars it could get on the train very nicely. It was even too
long for three cars, but hanging over a bit did not matter, Sue said.

So she put it on top of the train, turned on its electric eyes, and then
Bunny turned on the switch that made the current go into the motor of
his engine. At first the train would not start, for the bear was a bit
heavy for it, but when Bunny gave the engine a little push with his hand
away it went as nicely as you please, pulling the bear around and around
the shiny track, which was laid in a circle.

"Whoa!" called Sue. "Stop the train I Here is where my Teddy gets off."

"You mustn't say whoa when you stop a train," objected Bunny. "Whoa is
to stop a horse."

"Well, how do you stop a train?" Sue asked.

"Just say 'ding!' That's one bell and the engineer knows that means to
stop."
