“And can I help get in the crops?” asked Russ, who liked to be busy.
“Yes, we’ll all help,” his father promised. “I think you need a lot of help on a farm in summer, don’t you, Adam?” he asked.
“That’s right,” answered Farmer Joel’s hired man. “The more help we have the better. I’m pretty well rushed myself in the summer.”
“And can we see the horses?” asked Violet.
“And the cows?” came from Laddie.
“And the sheep?” Mun Bun wanted to know.
“And the apple trees?” asked Margy.
“I’d like to see the bees make honey,” remarked Rose, who, herself, was often as busy as any bee.
