"Oh, I think you children will come into the 'Ark' when it begins to
shower," said Mrs. Brown.
"Oh, no! Why, it's lots of fun in a tent in the rain!" cried Bunny.
"Let's get it up right away."
"Better wait until daddy or Uncle Tad can help you," said Mother Brown.
"Now we'll sit down and rest in the woods."
"Well, as long as the 'Ark' had to break down, this was the best place
for it to happen, I guess," said Mr. Brown, as, with Uncle Tad, he came
over to the wood where Mrs. Brown and the children were seated on a
fallen tree.
"Is the break a bad one?" asked his wife.
"Yes, I think we'll need an entirely new spring, and it will take nearly
a week to get that. However, as the children will have as much fun
camping out here, as they would traveling in the car, it will be all
right. We are not far from a town, and we can get what we want to eat
from there."
"I think our cupboard is pretty well filled now," said Mrs. Brown.
"You might look to see if there is anything you need," suggested her
husband. "I am going into town to find a garage man and have him arrange
to get a new spring for me. Uncle Tad can be putting up the tent while
I'm away."
"I'm going to help," said Sue.
