“How about the ice cream?” laughed Townsend.
“We’ll use pot cheese,” Pee-wee said; “it looks just like ice cream. Pot cheese cones, isn’t that a good idea? We’ll call them scout cones,” he vociferated. “I’ve got a jar full of pot cheese and it won’t keep.”
He was right, it didn’t keep. In fifteen minutes it was all gone. They made out a pretty good supper (except for the banana experiment) with omelet and boiled rice and crackers.
“Most of the things our cook gives me don’t keep,” said Pee-wee.
“Yes, I noticed that,” said Townsend.
“Let’s open some salmon, hey?” Pee-wee suggested; “so as to finish the rice, hey?”
“All right,” Townsend assented.
But things didn’t come out even; the salmon used up the rice and there was some salmon left over.
“I tell you what let’s do,” said Pee-wee. “Let’s open a box of sugar wafers so as to use up the salmon, hey?”
“All right,” assented Townsend.
