"Wasn't Wango funny?" asked Sue, as she nibbled her cookie.

"That's what he was," Bunny said. "'Member the time when he pulled the
cat's tail?"

"Yes," agreed Sue. "And when he sat down in the fly paper! That was
funnier than this time."

"I guess Miss Winkler didn't think this was funny," commented Bunny. "I
guess the monkey doesn't like her."

"But he minds Mr. Winkler," Sue said. "I've seen him make the monkey
stand on his head."

The old sailor, who had brought Wango home, after one of his many ocean
voyages, had taught the furry little creature many tricks. But though
Wango minded Mr. Winkler very well, he did not always do what Miss
Winkler told him to do.

As Sue walked on, still nibbling her cookie, she kept looking down at
the ground, until at last Bunny asked her:

"What are you looking at Sue--trying not to step on ants?" For this was
a game the children often played.

"Not this time," Sue answered. "I was looking to see if I could find
Aunt Lu's ring."

"Why, she didn't lose it down here!" Bunny said, in surprise.
