"Yes," added Sue. "We've guessed and guessed, but we can't guess right. Bunker said you might tell us."
Mrs. Brown laughed, and, after she had put the platter of eggs on the table, she pointed to two large, round, tin boxes on a chair in the big tent.
"Can you read what it says on those boxes?" Mrs. Brown asked Bunny.
Bunny looked at the long word. "It begins with a 'M' he said, "and the next letter is 'A' and then comes"
"Oh, I know what's next!" cried Sue. "It's a 'R.' I can tell by the funny little tail that kicks up behind. It's just like the 'B' for Brown in our name, only the R has a kick-up tail at the end. That letter is a 'R'; isn't it, Mother?"
"Yes," answered Mrs. Brown. "But what is the whole word. Bunny? If you can tell what it is you'll know the secret."
Bunny could spell out each letter one after another and he did, until he had spelled this big word:
MARSHMALLOW
