"There!" cried Mr. Brown, with a laugh. "I guess you all know who made that noise, and what it means."
"It means breakfast!" cried Bunny.
"And mother rang the bell!" added Sue.
"That's right," said Bunker Blue, coming along just then. "And your mother doesn't want you to be late, either, for she's baking cakes, and you know how you like them!"
"Oh, cakes!" cried Bunny, clapping his hands. "I just love them!"
Soon the little party, including the new boy, Tom Vine, were seated around the table under the dining tent, eating pancakes that Mrs. Brown cooked over the oil stove.
Bunny and Sue said nothing for several minutes. They were too busy eating. Then Bunny, looking at Tom, asked:
"Can you jump over an elephant?"
"Jump over elephants? I guess not!" the new boy cried. "I never saw an elephant, except in a picture."
"We did," said Sue. "We saw a real elephant in a real circus, and we had a make-believe circus with a pretend elephant in it."
