There were many persons going into town that day. Many of them were going to the circus, it seemed. Some wagons and carriages had many children in with the grown folks.
At first Bunny and Sue thought it fun to walk along by themselves. But, after a bit, Sue began to get tired. It was hot and dusty, and the town was farther away than even Bunny had thought.
"Oh, Bunny!" Sue cried at last. "I want to ride!"
"But how can you?" asked the little boy.
"If you had brought Splash, and the express wagon, we could have a nice ride."
"That's so," said Bunny slowly. He had not thought of that He stood in the road and looked back toward grandpa's house. Just then there were no wagons or carriages in the road. But Bunny saw a small cloud of dust coming toward him. Faster and faster it came. Then he heard a bark.
"Oh, Bunny!" cried Sue. "Is that Splash?"
"I—I don't know," began Bunny Brown, but in another second he saw that it was their big, shaggy dog.
