her hands near her nose. "That's an onion," the hired man said. "I guess you had better run in from the garden, and let me do the weeding. When you get older you can tell which are weeds and which are onions." "I'm never going to eat onions, anyhow!" Sue said, making another funny face, with her nose all wrinkled. "I don't like onions, either," Bunny said. "They have an awful funny smell; haven't they, mister?" "Well, some folks think so," and the hired man went on with his weeding while the children ran away. But they did not go to the house. Instead they walked farther on through the garden, until they came to some rows of boxes. "Oh, look at the cute play-houses!" cried Sue. "Let's look at them, Bunny." "All right," answered her brother. They went up to one of the houses. A queer sort of buzzing sound came from it. "Let's look inside," said Bunny. "All right," agreed Sue.

"Why should we run?" Bunny asked. Before the man could answer Sue cried out: "Oh, Bunny! Look at the flies! They're buzzing all around me. I don't like them. Come on!" At the same time a number of the "flies," as Sue called them, began buzzing around Bunny's head. He waved his hands to drive them off. "Don't do that! Keep your arms still and come away!" cried the hired man. "If you don't run away you'll be badly stung!" By this time he was close to Bunny and Sue. He caught the little boy up in one arm, and Sue in the other, and ran with them away from the little "play houses." Then, when they were some distance from the buzzing insect
