"We can't walk home in this storm," said Bunny to Sue. We'll have to stay in this cave until they come for us."
"All right," Sue said. "Then let's eat."
The children ate some more of the lunch they had brought with them.
"Now let's make the bed," said Sue. "We'll sleep on a pile of the bags, Bunny, and pull some of 'em over us for covers. Splash won't need any covers. He never sleeps in a bed."
Bunny and Sue had often "played house," and they knew how to make the old blankets, and pieces of carpet they found in the cave, into a sort of bed. It was not so light now, for it was coming on toward night, and the sky was covered with clouds.
"If we shut our eyes and go to sleep we won't mind the dark," said Bunny.
"All right—let's," agreed Sue.
They cuddled up on the bags, their arms around one another, with Sue's doll held close in her hand, while Splash lay down not far from them.
Bunny was not sure he had been asleep.
