"Oh, Bunny, it's doing it! It's come! Oh, won't we have fun!" cried the
little girl.
Bunny Brown looked up at his sister Sue, holding a bit of syrup-covered
cake on his fork.
"What's come?" he asked. "Has Aunt Lu come to visit us, or did Wango,
the monkey, come up on our front steps?"
"No, it isn't Mr. Jed Winkler's monkey and Aunt Lu didn't come, but I
wish she had," answered Sue. "But it's come--a lot of it, and I'm so
glad! Hurray!"
Bunny Brown put down his fork and looked more carefully at his sister.
"What are you playing?" he asked, thinking perhaps it was some new game.
"I'm not playing anything!" declared Sue. "I'm so glad it's come! Now we
can have some fun! Just look out the window, Bunny Brown!"
"But what has come?" asked the little boy, who was a year older than his
sister Sue. He was a bright chap, with merry blue eyes and they opened
wide now, trying to see what Sue was so excited about.
"What is it?" asked Bunny Brown once more.
"It's snow!" cried Sue. "It's the first snow, and it's soon going to be
Thanksgiving and Christmas and all like that! And we can get out our
sleds, and we can go skating and make snow men and--and--and----"
But she just had to stop. She was all out of breath, and she didn't seem
to have any words left with which to talk to Bunny.
"Oh! Snow!" exclaimed Bunny, and he said; it in such a funny way that
Sue laughed.
