"
"Going to have any animals in it?" one boy wanted to know.
"Yes, we could," answered Bunny. "They have animals on the stage just
like in a circus, only it's different, of course. We could have our dog
and cat in it."
"I've got a goat!" cried another boy. "He butts you with his horns, only
maybe I could cure him of that."
"We could use Toby, our Shetland pony," added Sue. "He eats sugar out of
my hand."
"And we could have my trained white mice," said Charlie Star.
"If you have mice in it I'm not going to play!" exclaimed Sadie West. "I
don't like mice at all!"
"Neither do I!" added Jennie Harris.
"Well, we could get Mr. Jed Winkler's parrot, maybe," suggested Bunny.
"And his monkey!" some one added.
"Oh, yes!" cried all the children.
Suddenly the door of the room opened and in burst Tom Milton.
"Say!" he cried, "Mr. Jed Winkler's monkey is loose in Mr. Raymond's
hardware store, and you ought to see the place! Come on! Mr. Jed
Winkler's monkey is loose again!" and he jumped up and down he was so
excited.

THE CLIMBING BOY
Tom Milton had been invited by Bunny Brown to come to the meeting in the
room over the garage and talk about the play which Bunny and his sister
wanted to give. But, for some reason or other, Tom had not come with the
other children.
