"I want to play, too!" insisted Margy.
"We're done playing fort and soldier," said Russ. "We'll play something else."
"Let's see who can dig the deepest hole," suggested George. "I'll go and get a shovel, and you have yours, Russ and Laddie. Let's see who can dig the deepest hole!"
The two older Bunker boys thought this would be fun, and George ran over to his cottage to get his shovel.
"Can we play that game, Mother?" asked Margy.
"Yes, you and Mun Bun can do that," said Mrs. Bunker.
The warm sun was drying out the beach, and when George came back with his shovel he and Laddie and Russ began three holes in a row, each one trying to make his the deepest. Mun Bun and Margy, each of whom had a small shovel, also began to dig, though, of course, they could not expect to dig as fast as the boys, nor make as deep holes.
"I'll sit on the sand and watch you," said Mrs. Bunker.
"Maybe we'll find a treasure," suggested Russ.
"What treasure?" asked George.
