“But we’ll be selling them in a few days, and then we’ll bring you some,” added George.
“All right, I’ll take two,” promised the farmer.
The boys went with him up to the cornfield on the hill, where Patter was still on guard keeping out the cows. Then the fence was mended so the animals could not again get out of their pasture.
“Thanks, a whole lot, boys, for what you and the dog did,” called Mr. Boardman, as Bunny and his chums started away. “And don’t forget—I want two show tickets.”
“We must get the tickets ready,” said George to his chums, as they walked down the hill.
“Maybe we could have ’em printed like real tickets,” suggested Harry.
“Pete Gordon has a printing press,” announced Bunny. “I guess he’d print ’em for us, ’cause we buy most of our groceries from his father.”
Pete Gordon was the son of the grocery store owner, and when the boys explained to him what they wanted he kindly promised to print the tickets for them. When they were ready the tickets looked like this:
GRAND SHOW
IN
BUNNY BROWN’S BARN
See the Trick Dog
See the Trick Pony.
SEE SISTER SUE

ADMISSION $10
That dollar sign in front of the 10 was a mistake, Pete said, and he had not noticed it until all the tickets were struck off. But, as he explained to the boys, it didn’t really make any difference.
