"Is Wango there yet?" the little girl wanted to know. "Yes," Bunny answered. "But he's coming down a little." And the monkey came down still farther when he saw the cake, of which he was very fond. He was soon perched on Bunny's shoulder, eating the treat, Sue feeding him little pieces one at a time. "Let's take him back to Mr. Winkler's house," suggested Bunny, as the sun now came out bright and warm. "I guess the sailor will be looking for him." "Yes, I guess so," agreed Sue. Wango had a great habit of running away from his master's home, and, more than once, Bunny Brown and his sister Sue had taken back the sailor's pet. This they now did again, and as they knocked at the side door, Miss Winkler opened it. "Here's your monkey back," said Bunny, after the first greetings. "Huh! 'Tisn't _my_ monkey!" declared Miss Winkler. "It's Jed's! I shouldn't ever worry if it never came home! Still, that isn't saying it's your fault, Bunny and Sue. I know you mean to be kind, and Jed will thank you, even if I don't. Wango, you rascal, why don't you stay away when you run off? I don't want you around! What with the poll parrot----" "Polly wants a cracker! Polly wants a cracker!" shrieked the green bird. |
