"Did Bunker Blue come back with Toby?" asked Bunny of his mother, after
he had been given a piece of bread and sugar by Mary.
"No," was the answer. "But how did you know Bunker had Toby out? He
didn't come for him until after you went to school," said Mrs. Brown.
"Oh, Toby came to school!" explained Sue, laughing.
"Toby came to school?" repeated her mother.

"We'll get it at Mrs. Golden's," called Bunny, as he drove out of the
yard.
"My, the children are getting fond of that old lady store keeper," mused
Mary, as she went back to her kitchen work.
"I'm glad to have them," said Mrs. Brown. "It does children good to
learn to be kind and thoughtful toward others.
