But he could not say it. The word was too big for him. So his mother said it for him.
"Those are marshmallow candies in the tin boxes," said Mrs. Brown. "Now can you guess the secret?"
"Oh, I know!" cried Sue. "We're going to have a m.arshmallow roast by the campfire tonight! Is that it, Mother? And the sharp sticks Bunker is making are to put the marshmallow candies on to hold over the fire and roast! Isn't that it?"
"Yes, Sue, you have guessed it."
"Pooh! I was just going to say that," cried Bunny.
"Well, Sue said it first, dear," went on Bunny's mother. "Now get ready for dinner. After dinner we'll take a nice walk, and this evening, when it gets dark. Uncle Tad is going to build a campfire and we'll all roast marshmallows."
"Oh, what fun!" cried Sue, clapping her hands.
"Jolly, jolly fun!" laughed Bunny.
And that was why Bunker Blue was making the pointed sticks.
