"We played store the other day, and a lot of
things fell down when Mary closed the door. We had a high shelf, too."
"Yes, one needs high shelves in a store," said Mrs. Golden. "But, Bunny,
do you think you can reach up and get the baking powder?" she asked. "I
can point it out to you."
"Sure, I can get it!" declared the little boy. "I'd love to."
"We don't want you to fall again," said Sue.
"That's very kind of you," replied Mrs. Golden. "Well, the baking powder
is on the other side of my store--the grocery side. There it is," and
with a bent and trembling finger she pointed out the tin boxes.
"Oh, that's an easy climb!" exclaimed Bunny, and he soon proved that it
was by clambering up and getting the box of baking powder he wanted.
Then he paid for it.
The children asked Mrs. Golden if they could help her further. She said
she was feeling better and would soon be all right.
"But don't climb up any more," warned Sue.
"That's right," echoed Bunny. "Maybe we could help you tend store, Mrs.
Golden. I'm a good climber.
