So the people never called Granny a witch after that, for they knew she was very good and kindly. And Dickie put the three boxes--the candy box, the ice cream box and the box with the golden pennies--out in front of his house so that whenever anyone wished candy or ice cream or golden pennies they might walk up and help themselves.
