"Oh, my!" cried Mrs. Brown. "What has happened now?"
"It sounded as if one of the big springs had broken," said her husband,
getting down off the seat to look. "Yes," he added, "that's it. This
means we'll have to stay here three or four days until I can get a new
spring put in."
For a moment Bunny and Sue looked a trifle sad. Then Bunny cried:
"Oh, that will be fun. We can camp out in a tent in the woods."
"Yes, you and Sue can play at camping, if you like," said their father.
"But I think you'll want to sleep in the auto at night."
"Oh, no! We won't!" laughed Sue. "Now for some fun camping out!" she
added.
CHAPTER XIX
AT THE LAKE
While Mr. Brown and Uncle Tad looked again at the spring of the auto, to
see just how badly it was broken, Bunny and Sue, with Mrs. Brown, went
over to the clump of trees, which was not far from the road.
"Oh, this will be a grand place!" cried Sue.
"Yes," agreed her brother. "We can put up the tent here," and he pointed
to a little knoll amid a circle of trees, "and then if it rains the
water will not come in."
Bunny's father had told him the first thing to do, in pitching a tent,
was to see that it would be dry in case of rain.
