stop you from going into the water also, Bunny?"
"No, Momsie. I stopped myself by catching hold of a tree. But I almost went in. I'd have gone in after my train anyhow, if Eagle Feather hadn't got it for me." "Thank you, Eagle Feather," said Mrs. Brown. "I must give you some of the nice soup I have made. The papooses will like it." "Squaw like it, and Indian like it heap, too," said Eagle Feather. "Yes, but the squaw, as you call your wife, and the little children, must have some first." "Oh, yes. Give 'em milk too, if so he can find cow." "Oh, is your cow lost? And was it she who poked her head in our tent last night?" asked Mrs. Brown. "I think it was, Mother," said Bunny. "She had two crumpled horns, and the one the farmer owns has only one. Sue and I are going to help Eagle Feather find his cow." "Well, you mustn't go very deep into the big woods," said Mrs. Brown. "But then I think the cow can't have wandered far, for there is good feeding near where Uncle Tad tied her." "You show me where cow broke loose, I find her," said Eagle Feather. "Indian hab heap good medicine to find cow." |
