Bunny Brown and his sister Sue are the kind of energetic kids who turn everyday chores into grand adventures. Living near their father's dock, they spend mornings whittling wooden boats, swapping sailor slang with the friendly dockhand Bunker Blue, and caring for their spirited Shetland pony. Their imaginations run wild, especially when they nickname the family’s big automobile the “ark,” a vessel they picture as ready for a daring voyage.
When Bunker Blue shows up with a task—to fetch the ark for a repair—Bunny and Sue see an opportunity to be part of something exciting. They eagerly volunteer to help, hoping the pony might join the escapade, and promise to stay out of the driver’s seat. The story captures the joy of youthful teamwork, the charm of a seaside community, and the simple thrill of turning a routine fix into a memorable outing.
