"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue on an Auto Tour"

Brown. "Thank you, we should like to go with you." And a little
later the Browns were at Blue Lake.


CHAPTER XX
DIX TO THE RESCUE

"Where is the waterfall?"
"Can't we go in swimming?"
"I want to row a boat!"
"I want to fish!"
As soon as they jumped out of Farmer Jason's wagon at Blue Lake, Bunny
Brown and his Sister Sue were saying these things and asking these
questions. The children saw before them a large body of water, that
seemed a deep blue under the shining sun, and round about it were small
hills "like strawberries on top of a shortcake," as Sue said.
"Oh, what a beautiful place!" ejaculated Mrs. Brown.
"Yes, folks around here thinks as how it _is_ right pretty," said Farmer
Jason. "But you haven't seen the prettiest part yet--that's the
waterfall."
"Oh, that's where I want to go!" cried Bunny.
"And I want to go out in a boat," added Sue, renewing her first request.
"So do I! And fish!" chimed in Bunny.
"Now, one thing at a time," said Mr. Brown with a laugh. "You are hardly
here yet and you want to do half a dozen things. Be patient. We are
going to stay all day, for we brought our lunch, and I think we shall
have time for everything you want to do.
