"Yes," said Bunny, as he stopped pulling on the stick Sue held, "I guess you will. But oh, Sue! You'll have to help me! I'm sinking down more and more."
And Bunny was. The water was nearly up to his trousers now. He was sinking down deeper in the mud.
"I'll go and tell papa and mamma!" Sue cried, as she threw down the tree branch, and ran through the woods. "They'll know how to get you out."
Away ran Sue, but she did not go far before she met Bunker Blue.
"Well!" he cried. "I was just wondering where you were. Your mother sent me to look for you. Where's Bunny, Sue?"
"Oh, he's sinking down in the mud!"
"Sinking down in the mud? Why, what do you mean?"
"Oh, hurry, Bunker Blue! Bunny made a waterfall, and then he went wading in it, and he can't get his feet out, and he 'most pulled me in and he's scared and so am I and—and—"
But poor Sue could say no more.
