Bunny and Sue are up 12 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: early to head to the train station and meet their aunt. 13 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: They get themselves dressed and head downstairs to get some 14 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: food to take with them to the station, as they 15 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: feel their aunt will be very hungry. When their mother 16 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: sees them, she starts laughing and wonders why they are 17 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: up so early when their aunt will not arrive for hours. 18 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: Bunny Brown and his sister Sue. Chapter one, Bunny Bunny, 19 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: wake up, It's time? What what's the matter? Sleepily mumbled 20 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: little Bunny Brown, making his words all run together like molasses. 21 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: Candy that has been out in the hot sun. What's 22 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: the matter, Sue, Bunny asked. Now that he had his 23 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: eyes opened, he looked over the side of his small 24 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: bed to see his sister standing beside it. She had 25 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: left her own little room and had run into her brother's. 26 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: What's the matter, Sue, Bunny asked again? Why it's time 27 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: to get up? Bunny, and Sue opened her brown eyes 28 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: more widely as she tried to get the sleepy feeling 29 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: out of them. It's time to get up, time to 30 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: get up so early? Oh, Sue. It isn't Christmas morning, 31 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: is it, Sue? And with that thought, Bunny sat up 32 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: suddenly in his bed. Christmas, No, of course not, said Sue, who, 33 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: though only a little over five years of age a 34 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: year younger than Bunny, sometimes acted as though older than 35 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: the blue eyed little chap who was now as widely 36 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: awake as his sister. Well, if it isn't Christmas and 37 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: we don't have to go to school because it's closed, 38 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: why do I have to get up so early? Bunny 39 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: wanted to know. Bunny Brown was a great one for 40 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: asking questions, so was his sister Sue. But Sue would 41 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: often wait a while and find things out for herself 42 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: instead of asking what certain things meant. Bunny always seemed 43 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: to be in a hurry, and his mother used to 44 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: say he could ask more questions than several grown up 45 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: folks could answer. Why do you want me to get 46 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: up so early? Bunny asked? Again? He was wide awake. Now, why, 47 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: Bunny Brown, have you forgotten? Asked Sue, with a strange 48 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: look in her brown eyes. Don't you remember Aunt lou 49 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: is coming to visit us today and we are going 50 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: to the station to meet her. Oh, yes, that's right, 51 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: I did forget all about it, Bunny said. I guess 52 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: it was because I dreamed so hard in the night, Sue. 53 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: I dreamed I had a new rocking horse, and he 54 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: ran away with me uphill. Rocking horses cannot run away, 55 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: Sue said, shaking her head, the hair of which needed 56 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: brushing as it had become tousled in her sleep. Well 57 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: mine ran away in my dream, anyhow, declared Bunny. They 58 00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: can't run up hill even in dreams, insisted Sue. Horses 59 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: have to walk up hill. Grandpa's always due. Maybe not 60 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: in dreams, Bunny said, And I really did dream that, Sue, 61 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: But I'm glad you woke me up because I want 62 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: to meet Aunt Lou. Then let's hurry and get dressed. 63 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: Sue went on. Maybe we can run down to the 64 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: station before breakfast. Aunt Lou will be hungry and we 65 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: can show her the way to our house. That's a 66 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: great idea, agreed Bunny. But maybe we'd better take a 67 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: piece of bread and butter down to the station for her, 68 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: he added, after thinking about it for a few seconds. 69 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: Or a piece of cake, added his sister. We'll take both, 70 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: exclaimed the blue eyed little boy. Then he began to dress. Sue, 71 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: who had gone back into her own little room, had 72 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: almost finished putting on her clothes, but as her dress 73 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: buttoned up the back, she had to come in and 74 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: ask Bunny to fasten it for her. This he was 75 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: ready to do as soon as he had pulled on 76 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: his socks and little shorts. Should I start at the 77 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: top button or the bottom one, Sue, he asked, as 78 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: he stood behind his sister. It doesn't matter, said Sue, 79 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: as long as you get it buttoned. But hurry, Bunny. 80 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: We don't want the train to get in and Aunt 81 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: Lou to get off with us not there to meet her. Hurry, 82 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: all right, I will, said Bunny, beginning to button the dress, 83 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: but soon a strange look came over his face. Aren't 84 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: you finished, asked Sue as he stopped using his fingers. Yes, 85 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: I'm done, Sue, But I've got two buttons left over, 86 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: and there's only one buttonhole to put them in. What'll 87 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: I do? Bunny was quite puzzled. Oh you must have 88 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: button me wrong, Bunny, Sue said, But never mind, nobody 89 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: will notice so early in the morning. Now come on 90 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: downstairs and we'll get the bread and cake. The children 91 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: went to the dining room, where the table was set 92 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: for breakfast, and Sue was cutting off a rather large 93 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: slice from the cake she had found in the pantry, 94 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: while Bunny was putting twice as much butter on a 95 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: slice of bread as was needed. When their mother's voice exclaimed, 96 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: why Bunny Brown, Sue, what in the world are you 97 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: children doing up so early too and not properly dressed? 98 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: Why did you get up? We're going to the station? 99 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: Sue said it really was her idea. She had thought 100 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: of it the night before, when their mother had told 101 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: them her sister, the children's aunt, Lou would arrive in 102 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: the morning. We are going to the station, said Sue, 103 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: to meet Aunt Lou, added Bunny. And we're taking her 104 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: some cake so she won't be hungry for breakfast, said Sue, 105 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: and bread. Bunny continued, Maybe she doesn't like cake, so 106 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm taking bread. And if she doesn't eat the cake, 107 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: we can. Sue said, as if that was the easiest 108 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: way out, of course, Bunny echoed. Missus Brown sat down 109 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: in a chair and began to laugh. She had to 110 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: sit down, for she laughed very hard, indeed, and when 111 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: she did that, she used to shake in such a 112 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: way that perhaps she would have fallen if she had 113 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: not been sitting in a chair. Oh, you children, she said. 114 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: When she had wiped the tears from her eyes with 115 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: the corner of her apron, she was not exactly crying, 116 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, Only she laughed so hard that tears came 117 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: into her eyes. You lovely, dear little children, she said, 118 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: What are you going to do next? Why? We are 119 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: going to the station as soon as I get the 120 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: bread buttered, and Sue puts the cake in a bag. 121 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: Bunny said he did not seem to feel that anything 122 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: was wrong. Oh, my DearS, Aunt Lou's train won't be 123 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: in for some time. Two or three hours, said missus Brown. 124 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: And you know I've told you you can never go 125 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: down to the station alone. Couldn't you come with us? 126 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: Asked Sue, eating a few of the cake crumbs. Or maybe, Papa, 127 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: added Bunny. If he can't, Bunker can. Bunker knows the 128 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: way to the station, and Bunker likes cake too. Sue said, 129 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: we might give him a piece of ant ant Lou 130 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: doesn't want it. No, no, you mustn't give away my 131 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: cake like that, said Missus Brown. Now listen to me. 132 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: It will be hours before Aunt Lou will get here. 133 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: Then perhaps I may take you to the station to 134 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: meet her. But right now I must dress you properly 135 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: and give you your breakfast. Papa had his some time ago, 136 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: as he had to go down to the bay to 137 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: see about some boats. I wondered why you were getting 138 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: up so early. Now put back the bread and cake 139 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: and wait until I give you something to eat a 140 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: little later. Rather disappointed at not being allowed to go 141 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: off alone to meet their aunt, Bunny and Sue sat 142 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: at the breakfast table. I wish the time would hurry 143 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: up and come for Aunt Lou to be here, Bunny said, 144 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: so do I chimed Sue, what fun we'll have when 145 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: Aunt Lou comes. Indeed we will, Bunny exclaimed. Bunny Brown 146 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: and his sister Sue lived with their father and mother, 147 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: Mister and Missus Walter Brown, in the town of Bellemere. 148 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,599 Speaker 1: That town was on Sandsport Bay, which was part of 149 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean, and the bay was a good place 150 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: to catch fish, lobsters, crabs, and other things that live 151 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: in salt water. Mister Brown was in the boat business. 152 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: That is, he owned many boats, some that sailed, some 153 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: that went by gasoline, and some that had to be 154 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: rowed with oars. These boats he hired out or rented 155 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: to fishermen and others who had to go on the 156 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: bay or even out on the ocean when it was 157 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: not too rough. Mister Brown had a number of men 158 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: to help him in his boat business, and one of 159 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: the men, or rather an extra large sized boy, was 160 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Bunker Blue, of whom Benny and Sue were very fond, 161 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: and Bunker liked the two children as much as they 162 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: liked him. He often took them out in a boat 163 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: or went on little land trips with them. Mister and 164 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: Missus Brown did not worry when Bunny and Sue were 165 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: with Bunker. The two Brown children were good company for 166 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: each other. You seldom saw Bunny without seeing Sue not 167 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: far away. They played together nearly all the time, though 168 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: often they would bring other children to their yard or 169 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: would go to theirs to play games and have fun times. 170 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: Bunny was a boy full of fun and one who 171 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: sometimes took chances of getting into mischief to have a 172 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: good time, and Sue was not far behind him. But 173 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: they never meant to do wrong, and everyone loved them. 174 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: Uncle Tad lived with the Browns. He was an old soldier, 175 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: rather stiff with the rheumatism at times, but still often 176 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: able to take walks with the children. He was their 177 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: father's uncle, but Bunny and Sue thought of Uncle Tad 178 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: as more their relation than their fathers. In the distant 179 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: city of New York lived Miss Lulu Baker, who was 180 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: Missus Brown's sister and the aunt Lou whom the children 181 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: were so eagerly expecting this morning. She had written that 182 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: she was coming to spend a few weeks at the 183 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: seashore place, and later on she intended to have Bunny 184 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: and Sue and their mother visit her in the big city. 185 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: Bunny and Sue looked forward to this eagerly. But just 186 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: now they wanted most to go to the station and 187 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: watch for the train to come in, bringing dear Aunt 188 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: Lou to them. Isn't it almost time to go, asked 189 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: Sue as she pushed back her chair from the breakfast table. 190 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: Oh no, not for a long while, said their mother. 191 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: You run out and play, and when it's time I'll 192 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: call you. And we can't take Aunt Lou anything to eat, 193 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: asked Bunny. Oh dear me, no, laughed missus Brown. She 194 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: won't want anything until she gets here. Run along now. 195 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: Bunny and Sue went out in the yard, where they 196 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: had a little play tent made of some old pieces 197 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: of sails from one of mister Brown's boats. It was 198 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: a warm spring day, and as Bunny had said, there 199 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: was no school for them to go to, as it 200 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: had closed to allow a new roof to be put 201 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: on the school building. Let's go down and see, Wango, 202 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: suggested Sue. After a bit. No, because it's so far 203 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: away that mother couldn't call us, objected Bunny. We'll stay 204 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: here in the yard until it's time to go to 205 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: the train, All right, agreed Sue. Wango was a strange 206 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: little monkey belonging to Jed Winkler, an old sailor of 207 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: the town. I'll tell you more about Wango later. Bunny 208 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: and Sue played a number of games, and after a 209 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: while a boy named Charlie Starr and a girl named 210 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: Sadie West came over from across the street and joined 211 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: Bunny and Sue in their fun. Then a little later, 212 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: Missus Brown came to the and said, come now, Bunny, Sue, 213 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: it's almost train time. I can't go with you, but 214 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: I'll let Bunker take you. I telephoned down to the 215 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: dock and Daddy is sending him up with the pony wagon. 216 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: You may drive down to meet Aunt Lou, but first 217 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: come in and wash. Oh yay, cried Bunny. And he 218 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: was so pleased at the idea of going to the 219 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: station in the pony wagon that he did not make 220 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: a fuss when his mother washed his face and hands. 221 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: Hello Bunker, cried Sue. As the big red haired lad 222 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: drove up, Hello Sue, Hello Bunny, he greeted them. Hop 223 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: in and we'll go right away. Off they started to 224 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: the station. It was not far from the Brown home, 225 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: and soon with the pony safely tied so he would 226 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: not run away. Bunny, Sue and Bunker waited on the 227 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: platform for the cars to arrive. With a toote, a 228 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: whistle and a clanging of the bell, in puffed the train. 229 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: Several passengers got off. Oh there she is, I see, 230 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: Aunt Lou, cried Sue, darting off towards a lady in 231 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: a brown dress. Here come back, cried Bunker, reaching out 232 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: a hand to catch Sue. He was afraid she might 233 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: go too near the train, but he was too late. 234 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: Sue raced forward, and then suddenly she slipped and fell 235 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: right into a puddle of water left from a rainstorm 236 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: the night before. Down into the muddy pool went Sue, 237 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: all in her clean white dress. Uh oh, gasped Bunny. 238 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: I might have known something like that would happen, complained Bunker. 239 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: Now her mom will blame me. Aunt Lou saw what 240 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: had happened, and before anyone else could reach Sue, she 241 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: had picked up the little girl, in whose eyes were 242 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: tears all ready to fall, and with her handkerchief, Aunt 243 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: Lou wiped the tears away. As she did this, Bunny 244 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: saw a ring on his aunt's hand, a ring with 245 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: a stone that sparkled like snow in the sun, red green, golden, 246 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: and purple colors. There, Sue, don't cry, murmured Aunt Lou. 247 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: You're not hurt and the mud will wash off. Oh 248 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm not crying for that, said Sue, bravely keeping back 249 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: her sobs. Ah Ah, I'm crying just just because I'm 250 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: I'm so glad to see you. And that is the 251 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: end of this part. Good night, sleep tight.
