course. Rabbits aren't red."

"Let's find the other end of the hole," Vi said eagerly. "We'll stop
both ends up and then--and then----"

"Well, what then?" her twin demanded.

"Why, we can catch him then," said Vi, rather feebly. "That is, we can
if he wants to come out."

"I suppose we can. If he doesn't take too long. Let's," said Laddie, and
he ran across the road and looked to see if there was another opening to
the culvert.

But as it chanced, this was an old and unused drain, and the farther
mouth of it was stopped up. This made the hole a very nice den for the
little animal the Bunker twins had seen go into it. But neither Laddie
nor Vi had any idea as to what the creature was.

"I'm going to get a stick and poke him out," announced Laddie.

"You can't poke him out when there is no other hole over there,"
rejoined Vi very sensibly.

"I'll poke him till he comes out then," said Laddie, looking all about
but not starting to find a stick.

To tell the truth he was at the end of his resources. He did not know
how to get at the little red animal.
