CHAPTER XVIII
SPLASH ACTS QUEERLY
"Daddy! Daddy!" cried Bunny Brown. "Daddy, did you hear that?"
"I couldn't very well help hearing it," said Mr. Brown sitting up on his cot, which was next to Bunny's. "Who's out there?" Mr. Brown cried, and with a jump he reached the flaps of the tent, which he opened, so he could look out.
Splash, who had jumped out, barking, when the noise sounded, rushed out of the tent. The tins had stopped rattling, and it was very quiet outside, except for the noise Splash made.
"What is it?" called Mrs. Brown, from her side of the tent.
"I don't know," answered her husbands "Someone—or some animal—seems to be making a noise. Maybe it is someone after more of your pies, Mother."
