was not in sight. Not that Jumbo was very large, for though he was the
biggest in the tank he was not more than ten inches long.

"Oh, here he comes!" cried Sue, as Jumbo swam up from the bottom of the
tank. "I guess he was asleep."

"I guess so," agreed her brother. "Here, Jumbo!" he went on. "Here's
some meat for you!"

"Jumbo's getting real big," said Sue, as she watched the largest of the
pets.

"And Judy is growing," added Bunny. "I wish we had had these 'gators
when we gave our show."

"Yes," agreed his sister. "Well, maybe we can have another show. Or we
could put the alligators in a store the next time we play."

"Yes," said Bunny. "Only maybe you couldn't wrap up a 'gator in a piece
of paper. He might bite his way out."

"That's so," said Sue. "Well, we could----"

But she did not finish what she was saying, for a loud barking suddenly
sounded outside the barn. At this noise Bunny and Sue started on a run
for the door.
