“Why, yes, you might find an Aladdin’s lamp there,” replied Alice teasingly.
Jane was not to be discouraged. “We might find something. Let’s play we do anyway. What’d you like to find, Katy?”
Katy considered.
“I’d like to find all those silver spoons and watches the burglars stole from the Jones’ and Gassetts’ last month. Then we’d get the twenty-five dollars reward and I could buy a lot of things.”
Alice laughed.
“Those things are probably up in Chicago in some pawn shop long before this, Katy. It’s only in stories that burglars hide things in caves.”
“Well, they might,” insisted Katy.
“Yes, the moon might be made of green cheese—but it isn’t,” returned Alice.
“Well, anyway, we can play we find the things,” said Chicken Little.
Gertie surprised them all by saying: “I’d like to find a weenty teenty bear cub.”
