They could see the muskrat no longer, though there was a little ripple in the water where it had dived down to get away.
"Now we must finish putting up the tents," said Daddy Brown. "It will be night before we know it, and we want a good place to sleep in at Camp Rest-a-While."
"And are we going to have a fire, where we can cook something?" asked Bunny.
"Yes, we'll have the oil stove set up."
"I thought we would have a campfire," said the little boy.
"So we shall!" exclaimed Uncle Tad. "I'll make a campfire for you, children, and we'll bake some potatoes in it. We'll have them for supper, with whatever else mother cooks on the oil stove."
"I'll get some sticks of wood for the fire!" cried Sue.
"So will I!" added Bunny.
And while the older folk were finishing putting up the tents, and while Mother Brown was getting out the bed clothes, Bunny and Sue made a pile of sticks and twigs for the fire their uncle had promised to make.
