"Oh, I have baking powder," said Mrs. Golden quickly. "And I'll be glad to sell it to you. If I sold more things I'd make more money. Let me see now; I'm feeling sort of queer in my head on account of my tumble, but baking powder--oh, it's on one of the high shelves. I--I'm almost afraid to reach up for it." "Oh, let me get it!" eagerly begged Bunny. "I like to climb up. I'd like to get it! I like to keep store!" "So do I!" added Sue. "We played store the other day, and a lot of things fell down when Mary closed the door. We had a high shelf, too." "Yes, one needs high shelves in a store," said Mrs. Golden. "But, Bunny, do you think you can reach up and get the baking powder?" she asked. "I can point it out to you." "Sure, I can get it!" declared the little boy. "I'd love to." "We don't want you to fall again," said Sue. "That's very kind of you," replied Mrs. Golden. "Well, the baking powder is on the other side of my store--the grocery side. There it is," and with a bent and trembling finger she pointed out the tin boxes. "Oh, that's an easy climb!" exclaimed Bunny, and he soon proved that it was by clambering up and getting the box of baking powder he wanted. Then he paid for it. |
