"We'll put some straw down on the floor so when it falls it won't get
bent," said Bunny, and this was done.
All morning the children played store in the barn, selling the things
over and over again. Splash got tired of being a delivery dog after a
while, and Bobbie Boomer said he'd take his place. Bobbie was more to be
depended on than Splash, who, try as he did, would sometimes deliver
things to the wrong houses.
When noon came the neighboring children were talking of going home to
lunch, but Mrs. Brown gave them all a pleasant surprise, including Bunny
and Sue, by asking all the boys and girls to remain and have something
to eat, served in the barn.
"Oh, what fun!" cried Sadie West.
"The best ever!" declared Charlie Star. "I'm glad I came!"
Lunch over, the playing of store went on again, until first one and then
another began to tire, and it was given up. Then they put away the
planks and boxes and played tag and hide and seek until it was time for
supper, when the boys and girls went home.
"We've had a lovely time!" they said to Bunny and Sue.
