Anyhow Splash howled and tried to swing around so he could bite the
gobbler, but the big bird kept out of reach.
"Oh, what can we do?" asked Sue.
"Get sticks and beat the gobbler!" cried Tom.
"No, wait. I know a better way," said Bunny.
"What?" asked his sister.
"I'll show you," answered the little boy. He had seen on the green lawn
of the farmhouse a water hose. It was attached to a faucet near the
ground and the water came from a big tank on the house into which it was
pumped by a gasolene engine.
Bunny ran to the hose. The water was turned off at the nozzle, but it
was the same kind of nozzle as the one on the Brown's hose at home, so
Bunny knew how to work it.
In an instant he turned the nozzle, and aimed the hose at the turkey
which still had hold of the poor dog's tail.
All over the turkey splashed the water, and as the big bird tried to
gobble, and keep hold of Splash's tail at the same time, and as the
water went down its throat, the noise, instead of "Gobble-obble-obble,"
sounded like "Gurgle-urgle-urgle.
