"Snyder is my name," said Sadie. "I'm Mrs. Snyder and I live at 756
Oatbin Avenue," she added, as she looked toward the part of the barn she had picked out for her "house." It was near Toby's oat bin. "Yes, Ma'am," answered Bunny. "I'll send it right over to Oatbin Avenue." He wrapped up the sand-sugar in a piece of paper and took the black mussel shell which Sadie handed him as her "five-dollar bill." Bunny placed the shell in the automobile, and started it up the plank to where Charlie waited. Taking out the large shell, Charlie put in two smaller ones and a white stone. This was "change." Back whizzed the auto down the plank until it reached Bunny, who took out the "change" and handed it to "Mrs. Snyder." "Please send my sugar right over," she ordered. "Yes, Ma'am, it will go on the first delivery," Bunny answered, as he had heard Mr. Gordon, the real grocer, often say. "Here, Splash!" called Bunny, and his dog, with the basket on his neck, came running up, wagging his tail. "Oh, look out!" cried Sue, who was acting as a clerk next to Bunny. "What's the matter?" Bunny asked. "Splash is wagging his tail so hard that he'll knock down my eggs!" complained Sue. |
