Once Bunny had helped his father nail the windows shut, and once he had helped pull the nails out the next summer when the cottage was to be opened. So Bunny was now looking for the heads of nails in the window of Mr. Foswick's carpenter shop. The first window he looked at was so tightly nailed, with all the heads driven so far into the wood, that Bunny could get the claw of the hammer under none of them. He made his way along the bench to the next window. ONCE BUNNY HAD HELPED HIS FATHER NAIL THE WINDOWS SHUT AND ONCE HE HAD HELPED PULL THE NAILS OUT THE NEXT SUMMER WHEN THE COTTAGE WAS TO BE OPENED SO BUNNY WAS NOW LOOKING FOR THE HEADS OF NAILS IN THE WINDOW OF MISTER FROSWICK'S CARPENTER'S SHOP THE FIRST WINDOW HE LOOKED AT WAS SO TIGHTLY NAILED WITH ALL THE HEADS DRIVEN SO FAR INTO THE WOOD THAT BUNNY COULD GET THE CLAW OF THE HAMMER UNDER NONE OF THEM HE MADE HIS WAY ALONG THE BENCH TO THE NEXT WINDOW
t. "Can you get it open?" asked Sue anxiously, as she watched Bunny climb upon the dusty carpenter bench. "Oh, sure!" he answered. "We'll be out in a little while now; and then we can go and hunt that big dog that has our mother's pocketbook." "And the money, too," added Sue. "We've got to get the money and go to the store, Bunny." "Yes, that's right," he agreed. With the hammer in his hand, he began looking over the window. He wanted to see where the heads of the nails were sticking out, so he could slip the claw of the hammer under them and pull them out by prying on the handle. Bunny had not only pulled out nails himself before this, but he had watched his father and Bunker Blue do it. Bunny Brown also knew how windows were nailed shut. Once the Browns owned a little cottage on an island in the river. They sometimes spent their summer vacations in the cottage, and in the fall, when winter was approaching and the cottage was to be closed, the windows were nailed shut from the inside. ROP OUT AND NOT BE HURT IN THE LEAST CAN YOU GET IT OPEN ASKED SUE ANXIOUSLY AS SHE WATCHED BUNNY CLIMB UPON THE DUSTY CARPENTER BENCH OH SURE HE ANSWERED WE'LL BE OUT IN A LITTLE WHILE NOW AND THEN WE CAN GO AND HUNT THAT BIG DOG THAT HAS OUR MOTHER'S POCKET BOOK AND THE MONEY TOO ADDED SUE WE'VE GOT TO GET THE MONEY AND GO TO THE STORE BUNNY YES THAT'S RIGHT HE AGREED WITH THE HAMMER IN HIS HAND HE BEGAN LOOKING OVER THE WINDOW HE WANTED TO SEE WHERE THE HEADS OF THE NAILS WERE STICKING OUT SO HE COULD SLIP THE CLAW OF THE HAMMER UNDER THEM AND PULL THEM OUT BY PRYING ON THE HANDLE BUNNY BROWN HAD NOT ONLY PULLED OUT NAILS HIMSELF BEFORE THIS BUT HE HAD WATCHED HIS FATHER AND BUNKER BLUE DO IT BUNNY BROWN ALSO KNEW HOW WINDOWS WERE NAILS SHUT ONCE THE BROWNS OWNED A LITTLE COTTAGE ON AN ISLAND IN THE RIVER THEY SOMETIMES SPENT THEIR SUMMER VACATIONS IN THE COTTAGE AND IN THE FALL WHEN WINTER WAS APPROACHING AND THE COTTAGE WAS TO BE CLOSED THE WINDOWS WERE NAILED SHUT FROM THE INSIDE
