stretched over
a box of crackers.

"She won't get hungry, anyhow," said Bunny with a laugh.

"She doesn't eat when she's asleep," said Sue.

Tommy stopped his grocery wagon several times, to leave boxes or baskets
of good things at the different houses. Finally he stopped in front of
a house where lived Mr. Thompson, and here Tommie had to wait a long
time, for the Thompson family was very large, and they bought a number
of groceries. Tommie used to write down in his book the different things
Mrs. Thompson wanted to order, so he could bring them to her the next
time he drove past.

Bunny and Sue, cuddled down amid the boxes and baskets, did not like to
stay still so long. They wanted to be riding. Finally Sue looked out of
the back of the wagon and said:

"Oh, Bunny, look! There's where old Miss Hollyhock lives," and she
pointed to a shabby little house, where lived a poor old woman.
"Hollyhock" was not her name, but everyone called her that because she
had so many of those old-fashioned flowers around her house. She was so
poor that often she did not have much to eat, except what the neighbors
gave her. Mrs. Brown often sent her things, and once Bunny and Sue sold
lemonade, and gave the money they took in to old Miss Hollyhock.

"Yes, that's where she lives," said Bunny.

"And maybe she's hungry now," Sue went on.

"Maybe she is," agreed Bunny.

"We could give her something to eat," suggested Sue, after thinking a
few seconds.

"How?" Bunny wanted to know.

"Look at all these groceries," Sue said. "There's a lot here that Tommie
don't need. We could get out, and take a basket full in to old Miss
Hollyhock."

"Oh, so we could!" Bunny cried. "We'll do it. Pick out the biggest
basket you can find, Sue."

Neither Bunny Brown nor his sister Sue thought it would be wrong to take
a basket of groceries from the wagon for poor old Miss Hollyhock. They
did not stop to think that the groceries belonged to someone else. All
they thought of was that the old lady might be hungry.

"We'll take this basket," said Sue. "It's got lots in."

She pointed to one that held some bread, crackers, sugar, butter,
potatoes, tea and coffee. All of these things were done up in paper
bags, except the potatoes. Bunny and Sue could tell which was tea and
which was coffee by the smell. And they had often gone to the store for
their mother, so they knew how the grocer did up other things good to
eat, in different sized bags or pack
