She took the brown egg and put the rabbit wilh the cart into a paper bag and gave it to David, who hurried home and hid his treasure. Little Mary put the egg into a bowl that sat on her shelf and went on with her work. Late that after- noon a little girl opened the door. "Jingle, jingle," mang the bell, and Little Mary hobbled in to answer it. "Mother says che must have some extra eggs," the little girl told her. "She thought perhaps you might have a few that you would sell to her." "I happen to have one," said Little Mary. "She may have that." She put the brown egg into a paper bag and handed it to the little girl. Now that little girl, whose name was Effie, did not go straight home.
