demanded the man.
"His name is Wango--I mean the monkey's is," explained Bunny. "Sometimes he gets away and does things. He climbed up on Mrs. Golden's shelves--she keeps a store. Maybe Wango got loose and came over here and picked up the hose to get a drink or something, and so wet you." "Well, that's possible," admitted the man. "And if that's the case I beg your pardon. Do you see Wango around here?" he went on, while Sue, looking from her upper window, wondered who the stranger could be. "No, I don't see Wango," replied Bunny, looking about. "But I'll look for him. Maybe he's hiding." "Maybe he is," and the man now laughed. "I'll help you search. For if the monkey is up to tricks like that he ought to be stopped. He may wet some one else if you go away and leave the water turned on." "That's right," agreed Bunny. He left the hose, still spurting, on the grass, and, followed by the man, walked around the yard, looking for Wango. But the mischievous monkey was not in sight, nor did he come when Bunny called, though Mr. Winkler's pet nearly always did this. "I guess he isn't here," said Bunny at length. "But I didn't wet you with the hose." "Then who----" began the man, but he stopped short to point and cry: "Look at that!" |
