“What can we make?” asked Kitty. “So many things are green, that it’s hard to think of anything.”
“Why, Kit,” said her brother, “there’s hardly anything we can’t sell at our table. If you want to make fancy things, you can make ’em all green. If you want things to eat, there’s apples and pickles, and little cakes with green icing, and green candies, and green peppers!”
“And books with green covers,” supplemented Marjorie.
“That’s good!” cried Kitty. “I love to paste scrap-books, and I’ve a lot of gay pictures saved up. I’ll make scrap-books for children, with green covers.”
“Be sure the children have green covers,” said King. “Look at them well, before you let them buy the books.”
“You make good jokes,” said Kitty, looking patronizingly at her brother; “but what are you going to make for our Evergreen Tree?”
“That’s so,” said King. “There aren’t many things a boy can make. I can cut out some jigsaw puzzles, but if they’re all green, there won’t be any picture.”
“Yes,” said Midget, “use those pictures that are nearly all forest and green trees. They’re the hardest to do, too.”
“All right; I’ll do a couple of those, but what else can I do?”
“Dolls’ furniture,” suggested Kitty.
