Then Mrs. Golden saw the crowd outside.
"My goodness!" she exclaimed. "I never knew oatmeal to be so popular. I
can sell it all, maybe!" Then she noticed that the crowd was mostly
looking at the other window.
"What have you in there, Bunny Brown?" she asked.
"Take a look and see," invited Sue.
Mrs. Golden peered over the wooden partition that fenced the show window
off from the remainder of the store. And in the window she saw--what do
you think? Well, I imagine you must have guessed by this time.
Yes, it was Splash, the big dog, and asleep on his back was Charlie
Star's little white kitten! It made the cutest picture you can imagine,
for Splash kept very still, as if he did not want to wake up the
sleeping puss, and the little cat was curled up just as if on a silken
cushion.
It was this that Bunny and Charlie had been planning in the barn for
several days. At first Splash would have nothing to do with the white
kitten, and the kitten fluffed up her tail and made funny noises at
Splash.
But finally the boys and Sue had trained the two to be friends, so that
Splash would lie down and allow the kitten to go to sleep on his back.
