like that. However, the food will be a great help to old Miss Hollyhock. I was going to send her some anyhow. "Here, Tommie, you give this note to Mr. Gordon, the grocer, and he will charge the things to me, and give you more for Mrs. Jones. I'm sorry you had all this trouble." "Oh, I don't mind," and Tommie was smiling now. "I'm glad Bunny and Sue had a nice ride." "And it makes you feel good to give things to people," said Bunny. "I mean it makes you feel good inside."

They were strong and healthy, and as brown as little Indian children. They could play all day long, come in, go to bed, and get up early the next morning, ready for more good times. One day the postman brought another letter from Aunt Lu. "I can hardly wait for Bunny and Sue to come to see me," said Aunt Lu. "I am sure they will have a fine time in the city, though it is different from the seashore where they live. Bunny will not find any lobster claws here. And my home isn't in the country, either. There are no green fields to play in, though we can go to Central Park, or the Bronx Zoo." "What's a Zoo?" asked Bunny. "Is it something good to eat?" "It's a game, like tag," guessed Sue.
