“Potatoes!” cried Veve. “Green potato plants!”
“That’s right,” agreed Connie. “Now it’s your turn.”
Veve looked quickly about for an object. On the opposite side of the road, a washing hung on a line. The little girl noticed a blue shirt flapping in the breeze.
“I see something which starts with the letter ‘S’—” she began, and then broke off.
She had seen another object even more interesting. Also on the line hung a red and white patterned quilt. Even from so far away Veve could see that it was a most unusual design.
“Oh, I see a quilt!” she cried.
“You’re not supposed to tell,” Jane chided her. “And quilt doesn’t start with ‘S.’”
“I’m not playing that game any more,” Veve announced. She was thinking hard. “I have an idea.”
“You and your ideas!” scoffed Jane.
