"I can get you anything you want."
"All I want is a loaf of bread," the lady answered.
Bunny knew where to get this, and also the kind the lady wanted, as it
was the same sort of loaf his mother often sent him for. He put it in
a paper bag and took the money. The lady gave the right change, so Bunny
did not have to trouble Mrs. Golden.
All this while Sue stood on her side of the Store, rather anxiously
waiting. She wished the customer would buy of her.
"You are rather small to be in a store, aren't you?" asked the lady, as
she started to leave with the bread.
"Oh, we know lots about stores," said Bunny. "We often play keep one,
but this is the first time we ever did it regular."
"I know how to keep store, too," said Sue, unable to keep still any
longer. "Would you like some needles and thread?"
"Yes, now that you speak of it, I remember I do need some thread, my
dear," the lady answered, with a smile. "Can you get me the kind I
want?"
"I--I guess so," Sue answered, yet she was a bit doubtful, as there were
so many things among the notions.
