swered Sue at last. "I'd rather stay out in the rain than go in with those robbers."
"What robbers?" asked Bunny, his eyes opening wide.
"You said that was a robbers' cave," declared Sue, "and I don't like 'em."
Bunny laughed.
"There's no robbers here. Sue," he said. "I only meant that this looks just like the pictures of a robbers' cave. There isn't any robbers here. Come on in. It's nice and dry here."
"Are you sure there's no robbers?" Sue wanted to know.
"Sure," said Bunny. "Listen!" He went back a little farther in the cave and cried:
"Robbers! Robbers! Go on away! That will drive 'em off, Sue," he said. "Now come on in."
The little girl waited a half minute, to make sure no robbers came out after Bunny's call. Then she, too, ran into the cave.
"Isn't it nice here?" Bunny asked.
"Ye—yes, I—I guess so," and Sue spoke slowly. She was not quite sure about it, "But it—it's dark," she went on.
