they came to a place where there were two paths through the woods. One went off toward the left side, and the other to the right.
"I'll take one path," said Bunny, "and you can take the other, Sue."
"Oh, no!"
"Why not?"
"'Cause then we'd both be lost."
"Well, we're both lost now."
"Yes," said Sue, "I know. But now we're both lost together, but if we were lost all alone I'd be scareder than I am now. Don't go away, Bunny."
"I won't. But which path shall we take?"
Sue thought for a minute. Then she tried a little game that the children sometimes played.
Shutting her eyes, Sue pointed her fat little hand first at one path, and then the other, while she said:
"My-mother-told-me-to-take-this-one!"
And she moved her hand back and forth, pointing first at one path and then at the other. When she said the last word—"one"—her hand was pointing at the left hand path.
