Can't you play grocery instead of hardware store, Bunny, my dear?"
"Oh, hardware store is nicer, and we have all the things now," Bunny
replied. "But I won't make any more high shelves."
The washboiler, the pans, and the scattered knives and forks were picked
up, and then Bunny and Sue went on playing, using only the low ironing
board shelf, which was made over the seats of two chairs. They took
turns keeping store and doing the buying, and had a great deal of fun.
But even making believe keep a hardware store gets tiresome after a
while, especially if there are only two playing, and after a while Bunny
Brown and his sister Sue wanted something else to interest them.
"'Tisn't raining quite so hard now," Sue observed, after a look from the
window.
"That's right!" cried Bunny. "Oh, say! Maybe we can go out in the barn
and feed our alligators!"
"That'll be fun," agreed Sue. "And I guess they're hungry; don't you,
Bunny?"
"Yes, I guess so. Let's go ask mother if we can feed 'em."
"I know she'll say yes, so I'll get some scraps of meat from Mary," said
Sue.
