"What are we going to do for money?" asked Bunny, when the "store" was
almost ready to open.
"I'll give you some buttons," said his mother.
Bunny was given a handful of flat buttons of different sizes and colors
to use for change. He placed them in his cash box. Sue also had other
buttons to use as money in buying groceries.
"Now we're all ready to play," said Bunny, looking over the store. "You
must come and buy something, Sue."
"Yes. And then I want to keep store," said the little girl.
"All right," her brother agreed.
Bunny took his place behind the counter and waited. Sue went out into
the hall, paused a moment, and then, with a little basket over her arm,
came walking in, as much like a grown-up lady as she could manage.
"Good morning, Mrs. Snifkins!" exclaimed Bunny. He always called Sue
"Mrs. Snifkins" when they kept store.
"Oh, good morning, Mr. Huntley," Sue replied. She always called her
brother "Mr. Huntley," when they kept store. Perhaps this was because he
used to pretend to hunt for things on the make-believe shelves.
