"If I can't wait on you
you can help yourself, as Bunny and Sue did."
A woman came in the side door.
"Let us wait on you, please!" begged Bunny. "My sister and I can get
what you want."
"Why, yes, I guess you can!" agreed Mrs. Clark, with a laugh. "I want a
yeast cake and some sugar. It's too bad you two children couldn't stay
and help Mrs. Golden," she added, as Bunny and Sue brought what she
wanted and she was giving the money to the store owner.
"We'd love to stay!" cried Bunny.
"And we can, for a while," added Sue. "Mother said we didn't have to
hurry."
"Oh, could we open the front door and tend store for you really?" asked
Bunny, his eyes sparkling in delight.

something must be done. She needed all the money she could take in, and
if customers were turned away from her store, because the door was
closed, she would lose trade.
