"Come on, Harry, you and
George each take hold of him on one side, and Bobby Boomer and I'll pull
his legs."
"My legs aren't caught!" said Bunny. "It's my shoulders!"
"Well, if I pull on your legs it'll help get your shoulders loose, I
guess," returned Charlie. "Come on now, fellows!"
"Can't we girls help too?" asked Sue.
"Well, maybe you could," Charlie agreed. "All pull."
"Don't tear my clothes," protested Bunny. "If I tear my clothes maybe my
mother won't let me be in the show."
"Come on now, let's all pull together!" suggested Charlie.

As many of the boys and girls as could, gathered around the trough and
tried to pull Bunny loose. But he stuck fast in spite of all they could
do. Then Sue said:
"I'm going to tell mother. She'll know how to get him loose. Once he was
stuck in the rain water barrel, when it was empty, and my mother got him
out. She can do 'most everything. I'll go for her."
"Yes, I guess you'd better," agreed Bunny. "We've got a lot to do to get
ready for the play, and I can't do anything while I'm stuck fast here."
"It's a good thing this isn't in the play, or everybody in the audience
would be laughing at us," said Harry Bentley.
"I--I guess I won't get in the trough when we give our play real,"
decided Bunny.
