Brown. "It was all my fault. I'll make another for supper."
However, there were some cakes in a tin can in the "Ark," and as Uncle
Tad climbed in and got them out for the children before the garage men
started to pull the stalled automobile out with their machine, Bunny and
Sue had a little dessert after all.
"We're all ready to try to get your car out of the ditch now, Mr.
Brown," said one of the garage men.
"Oh, let's watch, Sue!" cried Bunny.
"But keep out of the way," ordered their father.
There was a puffing of the other auto truck, a grinding of the wheels,
and then the "Ark" was pulled slowly out of the ditch, and on to the
road again, the hind wheels running on long planks which the men put
under them. Thus out on to the safe and solid road rolled the "Ark."
"Hurrah!" cried Bunny Brown.
"Now we're all right," said his Sister Sue.
And indeed they were, for it was found that nothing was broken on the
big machine in which the Brown family were making their tour.
Mr. Brown paid the garage men, who went back to their shop, and the
"Ark" was soon on its way again.
"And the next time I come to a small bridge I'm going to find out how
much weight it will carry before I cross it," said the children's
father.
