CHAPTER I
AUNT LU ARRIVES
"Bunny! Bunny! Wake up! It's time!"
"Wha--what's matter?" sleepily mumbled little Bunny Brown, making
his words all run together, like molasses candy that has been out in the
hot sun. "What's the matter, Sue?" Bunny asked, now that he had his
eyes open. He looked over the side of his small bed to see his sister
standing beside it. She had left her own little room and had run into her
brother's.
"What's the matter, Sue?" Bunny asked again.
"Why, it's time to get up, Bunny," and Sue opened her brown eyes
more widely, as she tried to get the "sleepy feeling" out of them. "It's
time to get up!"
"Time to get up--so early? Oh, Sue! It isn't Christmas morning; is it,
Sue?" and with that thought Bunny sat up suddenly in his bed.
"Christmas? No, of course not!" said Sue, who, though only a little over
five years of age (a year younger than was Bunny), sometimes acted as
though older than the blue-eyed little chap, who was now as widely
awake as his sister.
"Well, if it isn't Christmas, and we don't have to go to the kindergarten
school, 'cause it's closed, why do I have to get up so early?" Bunny
wanted to know.

Bunny Brown was a great one for asking questions. So was his sister
Sue; but Sue would often wait a while and find things out for herself,
instead of asking strangers what certain things meant. Bunny always
seemed in a hurry, and his mother used to say he could ask more
questions than several grown folks could answer.
"Why do you want me to get up so early?" Bunny asked again. He was
wide awake now.
"Why, Bunny Brown! Have you forgotten?" asked Sue, with a queer
look in her brown eyes. "Don't you remember Aunt Lu is coming to
visit us to- day, and we're going down to the station to meet her?"
"Oh yes! That's so! I did forget all about it!" Bunny said. "I guess it was
because I dreamed so hard in the night, Sue. I dreamed I had a new
rocking-horse, and he ran away with me, up-hill--"
"Rocking-horses can't run away," Sue said, shaking her head, the hair
of which needed brushing, as it had become "tousled" in her sleep.
"Well, mine ran away, in my dream, anyhow!" declared Bunny.
"They can't run up hill, even in dreams," insisted Sue. "Horses have to
walk up hill. Grandpa's always do."
"Maybe not in dreams," Bunny said.
