"Are you there, Mrs. Golden? I want a few things. May I come in?"
"Oh, yes, come in, Mrs. Clark," replied the storekeeper, as she recognized the voice of one of her customers. "If I can't wait on you you can help yourself, as Bunny and Sue did."
A woman came in the side door.
"Let us wait on you, please!" begged Bunny. "My sister and I can get what you want."
"Why, yes, I guess you can!" agreed Mrs. Clark, with a laugh. "I want a yeast cake and some sugar. It's too bad you two children couldn't stay and help Mrs. Golden," she added, as Bunny and Sue brought what she wanted and she was giving the money to the store owner.
"We'd love to stay!" cried Bunny.
"And we can, for a while," added Sue. "Mother said we didn't have to hurry."
"Oh, could we open the front door and tend store for you really?" asked Bunny, his eyes sparkling in delight.
