“You’re not even sitting where Miss Gordon lost her watch,” Jane went on. “You’ll never find anything there—or anywhere.”
“Oh, won’t I?”
With a shriek of triumph Vevi pounced upon something in the sand.
“What did you find?” Jane demanded coming quickly over to see.
“A penny!”
“And you get excited over that!” scoffed Jane.
“Maybe I’ll find more money.” Vevi began throwing up sand at a furious rate.
Seeing her so hard at work, the other Brownies came hurrying up to learn why she was so excited.
“You’re wasting your time, Vevi,” Jane insisted. “One could hunt all day and never find any more money.”
“Oh, is that so?” Laughing gleefully, Vevi held up another copper she had discovered in the sand.
