"Oh, what's that?" asked Sue, stepping a little behind Bunny.
"It's a cave," answered her brother.
"What's a cave?" Sue next asked.
"Well, a cave is a hole," explained Bunny.
"Then a hole and a cave are the same thing," said Sue.
"Yes, I guess they are pretty much," admitted the little boy. "Only in a
cave you have adventures, and in a hole you only fall down and get your
clothes dirty."
"Don't you ever get your clothes dirty in a cave?" Sue demanded.
"Oh, yes, but that's different. Nobody minds how dirty your clothes get
if you have an adventure in a cave," Bunny said.
"And can we go into this one?" Sue asked.
"I guess so," answered Bunny. "Mother told us not to get in any boats,
and we're not. A cave isn't a boat. Come on."
"See, Splash is going in," pointed out Sue. "If he isn't afraid we
oughtn't to be."
"Who's afraid?" asked Bunny. "I'm not!" And with that he walked into the
cave. As he still held Sue's hand he dragged her along with him, and as
Sue did not want to be left alone on the beach of the lake, she
followed.
