Grandpa Brown took Sue in his arms, and Papa Brown carried Bunny. Splash ran along by himself. No one had to carry him. Mr. Brown thanked the hermit for his care of the children during the storm. And then, through the rain, that was falling gently now, Bunny and Sue were taken out to the carriage which was in the road, at the edge of the woods.
A little later they were on their way to the farmhouse. Splash running along beside the carriage.
"Can Splash see his way in the dark?" sleepily asked Bunny.
"I think so," answered Papa Brown. "Anyhow we haven't any room for him in the carriage. How did you get lost this time?"
"It was the frog that made us," said Bunny. "We chased after him, and we couldn't find the right path again. But the man found us."
And oh! how glad mamma and Grandma Brown were to see the children when they came home!
"Don't you ever get lost again!" said Mamma Brown, as she undressed Sue for bed.
