noon
All morning the children played store in the barn , selling the things over and over again . Splash got tired of being a delivery dog after a while , and Bobbie Boomer said he 'd take his place . Bobbie was more to be depended on than Splash , who , try as he did , would sometimes deliver things to the wrong houses . When noon came the neighboring children were talking of going home to lunch , but Mrs. Brown gave them all a pleasant surprise , including Bunny and Sue , by asking all the boys and girls to remain and have something to eat , served in the barn . `` Oh , what fun ! '' cried Sadie West . `` The best ever ! ''
