"But," said Grandma cheerily, "this bee will never bother you, if you
listen to its first little buzz."
"We will, Grandma, we will!" cried the children as they drifted off to
the Land of Dreams.
Bee Honest

It seemed to Don that he had just fallen asleep when he heard Grandma's
cheery voice calling, "Breakfast!" He dressed as quickly as he could;
but when he got downstairs, all the others were waiting for him.
After breakfast Joyce dried the dishes for Grandma; and then she helped
with the sweeping and dusting. Don helped Grandpa to grease the wagon
and oil some harness; and he handed staples to Grandpa, while he mended
some broken places in the fence.
The children were kept busy until dinner time; but in the afternoon they
were free to do anything they liked. Today, they decided to play house
in the orchard; so they got out some of the things that Mother had packed
in the little trunk, to fix up their house.
But Don soon grew tired of that sort of play. "Let's play hide-and-seek,"
he said.
"All right," answered Joyce. "I'll run and hide, while you count to one
hundred."
Away she ran, and Don began to count.
