"What do you mean, Bunny?" asked the little girl. "I've some money in my bank for the Red Cross, but that's all I have."
"No, you mustn't take that money," her father said. "Let us hear what Bunny has to say. How can you and Sue earn money with your Shetland pony?" he asked.
"We can give rides," answered Bunny. "Don't you 'member once, in a park, we saw a boy giving children rides in his goat wagon, and he charged five cents a ride."
"Yes, I 'member that," Sue said.
"Well, that's how we can make money for the Red Cross," went on Bunny. "Lots of times the boys and girls around here ask us for rides, and once Georgie Watson said he'd give me a penny for a ride."
"Did you give it to him?" asked Mrs. Brown.
"Yes, I did," answered Bunny.
"Did you take the penny?" Mr. Brown inquired, smiling at his little boy.
"No," Bunny said. "I had a penny then, and I didn't need another, 'cause I want only one lollypop at a time. So I gave Georgie a ride for nothing. But if we want to make money for the Red Cross I wouldn't give anybody a ride for nothing. Me and Sue could drive Toby up and down, and let boys and girls get in the cart and make 'em give us five cents apiece!"
"And maybe ten cents!" added Sue.
