“It’s this: ‘Do a Good Turn Daily.’”
“Miss Gordon says that means doing something for someone without being asked or paid for it.”
“Things like setting the table for your mother,” Rosemary explained. “Or maybe washing the dishes.”
“I would like to do something for the Brownies!” declared Hanny. “I know! Next week I will give you some of our tulips. We will have oceans of them in bloom by then.”
“You can do something for the Brownies right now,” said Connie. “If we have our booth in the flower show, we plan to dress in Dutch costumes. Do you know where we can buy some wooden shoes?”
“Buy sabots?” Hanny echoed. “Why don’t you make them?”
“Make our own wooden shoes?” Connie repeated in amazement.
“My uncle does,” Hanny said proudly. “He carves them from wood, with special tools. Maybe he will make shoes for the Brownies!”
“That would be too much trouble,” Connie replied quickly.
“If Uncle Peter is not too busy, I think he will do it. I will ask him. First though, before we go to the office, would you like to see our south field? The first tulips are coming into bloom.”
