"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Keeping Store"

Try to have a good time. I'll get your
candy!"
"And I'll finish this sweeping," laughed Sue.
"I'll help," said Bunny Brown, and then, in spite of the cross man,
there seemed to be a little bit of sunshine in Mrs. Golden's store.


CHAPTER XV
THE BROKEN WINDOW

"Daddy," said Bunny Brown that night, as the family were in the pleasant
living room, "have you much money in the bank?"
"I have a little, Bunny, yes. But why do you ask?" Mr. Brown wanted to
know.
"I have some in my bank!" cried Sue, before her brother could answer. "I
guess maybe I have a hundred and seventy dollars!"
"Pennies you mean, dear! Pennies! Not dollars!" laughed her mother, for
the children each had a penny bank.
"Well, pennies, then," agreed Sue. "But aren't a hundred and seventy
pennies 'most the same as a hundred dollars?"
"Pooh! No!" said Bunny. "It takes a hundred pennies to make even one
dollar!"
"Oh--o--o--! Does it?" exclaimed Sue. "What a terrible lot of money!"
"Yes, it does seem a lot," laughed Mr. Brown.
