"She ran
the auto herself!"
"We saw her," said Bunny.
"She's a dandy teacher all right!" declared George.
One Saturday morning Bunny and Sue came downstairs to breakfast at the
same hour as on other days. Usually this did not happen, for on
Saturdays they were allowed to remain in bed a little longer than on
days when they had to go to school.
"Well, what does this mean?" asked Uncle Tad, who was finishing his meal
and reading the paper at the same time. "This is Saturday, isn't it?
Unless I have on the wrong glasses!" he added, as he looked at the
calendar on the wall.
"Yes, it's Saturday," said Bunny.
"Then why are you up so early?" asked Uncle Tad.
"'Cause a lot of the boys and girls are coming over, and we're going to
play store out in our barn," explained Sue. "You can come and buy
something if you want to, Uncle Tad."
"Thanks! Maybe I will!" chuckled the old soldier. "Are you going to sell
any inside outside cocoanuts flavored with saltmint?" he asked.
"What are those?" Bunny inquired.
"Oh, he's only joking!" declared Sue, as she saw a twinkle in the eyes
of Uncle Tad.
