But I guess I won't tell Sue and Momsie about it.
They might be scared."
Bunny Brown was a brave little chap when it came to something like this.
In fact he had shown his bravery more than once, as those of you who
have read the other books about him and his sister well know.
Out on the steps of the automobile, with the glaring eyes of Sue's Teddy
bear to let them see what was going on, Mr. Brown and Uncle Tad again
looked about.
They could see the rain coming down hard, and on both sides of them was
what seemed to be a big river of water. Many little brooks in the
mountains, joining together, had made such a big stream that it had
shoved along the heavy auto.
"It can't shove us very far, I think," said Mr. Brown. "We are too heavy
for that. But it might tip us over, this water might, or send us into a
ditch out of which we would have a hard time to climb. I'd like to
anchor fast, if I could."
"Why don't you tie fast to a tree?" asked Uncle Tad. "We have the heavy
towing rope with us."
"I guess that's a good idea," said Mr. Brown. "We are being swept along
the road and there are plenty of trees on either side."
Bunny Brown was not listening at the door any longer.
