Bunny saw Splash running ahead. For a little way into the cave
it was light, but it soon began to darken, as the sun could not shine
in that far.
"Oh, I don't want to go any farther," said Sue. "It's dark. If I had my
Teddy bear I could make a light with her eyes."
"I've got something better than that," said Bunny.
"What?" asked Sue.
"My pocket flashlight I got for Christmas. That gives a good light. Come
on, now we can see."
From his pocket Bunny took the little flashlight. It was the same kind,
made with the same storage dry battery, that ran his train and lighted
the Teddy bear's eyes.
"Yes, now I can see!" cried Sue. "I'm not afraid any more."
With Bunny holding the light, the two children went farther on into the
cave. They were looking about, wondering what they would find, when, all
of a sudden, there was a noise farther in.
"Oh!" cried Sue. "Did you hear that?"
"Yes," answered Bunny, "I did. What was it?"
Splash began to bark.
"Quiet!" ordered Bunny, and the dog whined. Then the noise sounded
again. It was like some one crying.
