water, but they did not mind. For they had taken off their shoes and stockings, though their mother had not said they could do so.
"But she wouldn't want us to go into the water with our shoes and stockings on would she, Sue?" asked Bunny.
"No, I guess not."
"So we'll have to take them off "
That was all there was to do. The children rolled up their sleeves, for they had to reach down in the mud to get the stones and clumps of grass to make the waterfall.
Pretty soon Bunny and Sue had built such a high wall of stones, mud and grass across the little brook, that no more water ran down the little stream. The water had gathered into a sort of pond, that was getting larger all the while, as it rose behind the stones.
"Oh, now it's running over!" cried Sue.
"Yes, now it's a waterfall!"
The water was trickling over the edge of the top of the wall. In a moment it ran down in quite a stream on the other side.
"If I only had a water-wheel the water would make it go around," said Bunny.
