"
"Why?" asked Bunny, who was very fond of asking questions.
"She isn't feeling very well, and the air will do her good," answered
Sue, who made her "make-believe" very real to herself.
So, having made a nice bed of rags for her Teddy bear, Sue put Sallie
Malinda to sleep near the rear door of the auto and got out one of her
books to look at the pictures. Bunny was building some sort of house
with some new blocks his father had bought for him, but he was not
having very good luck, for the motion of the auto made the house topple
over almost as soon as Bunny had it built.
After a while Sue thought her Teddy bear had had enough sleep near the
auto door, so she went to take her in. But when she reached the rag bed
Sallie Malinda was not there.
"Oh, my Teddy bear is gone!" cried Sue. "Oh, Bunny, do you think she
falled out? Daddy! Daddy! Stop the auto! My Teddy bear is lost!"
Mr. Brown stopped the car at once, though he did not understand all of
what Sue said. The little girl told him what had happened.
"Sallie Malinda gone!" cried Mother Brown. "That's too bad! She must
have been jostled off when the auto went over a bump. I think we'll have
to go back and look for her," she said to her husband.
