"No, and not gold," said Mrs. Bunker.
"Candy?" asked Margy, who had not one sweet tooth, it seemed, but several.
"Pop-corn balls!" said Mun Bun.
"Huh! candy and pop-corn balls would all be wet in the ocean," exclaimed Laddie.

"What's all this I hear about a million dollars being found in a box on the beach?" asked Daddy Bunker with a laugh.
"Well, there's the box," said Russ, pointing. "Please open it."
