guard in the aquarium. "You're not allowed to catch fish in here!" "It--it wasn't a fish," said Bunny. "It was a turtle. I tried to get a fish, but I couldn't. But the turtle bit on the rag bait." "Yes, turtles will do that," said the guard. "But you must never again try to fish in here. These fish are to look at, not to catch." "Oh, I'm sure he didn't mean to do wrong," said the man who had saved Bunny from getting wet in the pool. "I'll forgive him this time," the guard said, "but he must not do it again." "I won't," Bunny promised. The turtle that had taken the pin hook was swimming about with the string dragging after it. One of the aquarium men, with a net, caught the turtle, and took the pin and string out of its mouth. "Now let's go and look at the seals," said Bunny, when the crowd, laughing at what the little boy had done, had moved away. "But you musn't try to catch any of them," his mother said. "I won't," promised Bunny. Watching the seals was fun, and Bunny and Sue had a good time there, until it was time to go out of the aquarium for dinner. The children had a nice meal, in a restaurant, and Aunt Lu said: "I think this afternoon we will take a little ride on the boat to Coney Island. You children can have an ocean bath there.

The place to take the boat for Coney Island was two or three blocks from the restaurant where they had eaten lunch. Bunny and Sue walked behind Mother Brown and Aunt Lu along the street to the boat-dock. "This is just like home," said Bunny as he saw the water-front, with many boats tied up along the docks, just as they were at his father's pier at home. Sue liked it, too. There were many things to see. In one window the children saw a number of monkeys, and birds with brightly colored feathers. "Oh, let's stop and look at them!" cried Sue. Bunny was willing, so they stood looking in the window. Mrs. Brown and Aunt Lu, thinking the children were coming right along, walked on. And it was not until they were ready to cross the street that the mother and aunt missed the little ones. "Why, where can they have gone?" cried Mrs. Brown, looking all around.
