Just as Sue was finishing trimming off what, was left over of the crust, Mrs. Brown came back from buying the eggs.
"Oh, you have your pie finished!" exclaimed Sue's mother. "You got ahead of me. Well, I'll put it in the oven for you, as you might burn yourself. And then I'll get on with my baking."
"And I really made this pie all my own self; didn't I?" asked Sue, eagerly.
"Indeed you did, all but making the crust. And you'll soon be able to do that," said her mother. "Now we must finish our baking."
The afternoon passed very quickly for Sue and her mother, but just as the last cookies, which Sue helped to make, were taken out of the oven, a lovely brown, and smelling so delicious, Bunny, his father and Tom came back from their fishing trip.
"Is the pie baked, Sue?" asked Bunny, who was tired, hungry and dirty.
"There are certainly pies baked, and other things too, if my nose can smell anything!" cried Daddy Brown. "Now then we'll clean the fish and have them for supper."
"Please let me clean them," said Tom. "I used to work for a fish man and I know how to do it quick."
"That isn't the only thing you can do quickly," said Mr. Brown, with a smile. "The way you caught that fish which got loose from Bunny's hook to-day showed how quick you were."
"Oh, I've done that before," said the tall lad with a laugh. "I like to fish."
