Once before, as told of in the book of that name, Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue had given a show. It was really gotten up by the ladies of the town in aid of the Red Cross, but Bunny and Sue and some other boys and girls helped. Toby, the pony, was in the show, and so was Splash, the dog, who had been sent away to be cured of a disease, but who had never come back. Bunny and Sue feared Splash was dead, and their father and mother said little about the old dog for fear of making the children feel sad. Then, too, in the show was Jed Winkler’s monkey named Wango. You’ll hear more about that monkey later on in this book.
