their mittens nor mufHera, and the snow had all disappeared. But the ground wai still very wet in the woods, and Nokomia
.. would not let the children go out to play until it became drier. Growling Bird and Yellow Hair wondered how they could
. .... amuse themselves in the meantime, and it waa the little girl who first had an idea.. She said to Little Growling Bird: ."Let's
make a summer Playhouse and keep store; we can sell things Just like the Paleface People do in the Settlements T Growling
. Bird thouvht it was a good idea, so he grabbed hold of Bit Bear, and Cried: "Come on and help us build playhousef : .1

and set to work. . Nokomia chopped down a lot of small trees to make polee for the framework of the house, and trimmed off .' :

. Big Bear, who placed it on the roof and around the side to keep out the wind and rain. Yellow Hair carried bundles of spruce ':, . i
branches, and even Little Bear toddled around pretending to work. But Aundak said he had a "black eye," and, of course, ' vv
, couldn't think of working ut, for that matter, he was so black all over you couldn't tell whether his eye was black or not! . ' ' I

After a while the little Play-Store was finished and a ?
counter made of smooth poles built across the open front Then (
Big Bear and Nokomia went back to the Wigwam to smoke t
Opwah-gun, the Peace Pipe, and rest. While Growling Bird
was rattinc the finishing touches on the walls of birch bark,
Aundak spoke n and said: "Hoi Hoi. You "

But Yellow Hair knew that the Birch-Bark Trunk waa full of presents and toys that Nanna-booxho, the Indian
Santa Claus, had given them at Christmas time, and, besides, there was plenty maple-sugar and other nice things to eat -that
they could borrow from Nokomia, so she was not worried. Then they went to the Wigwam and loaded up with all
-sorts of things to stock their little store. Little Bear took' a bundle en bis head, and even Aundak carried a small package :
in his beak. When they returned to the store they saw that a pretty little bird waa perched on one of the poles of theT
counter. It was Ozhah-wunoo, the Bluebird, the friend f ftegwun, the Spring Spirit. .. They were very glad to see him,
because, whenever Bluebird comes singing around, you m ay be sure that the springtime has come at last. '.. - "
; v The children put all the things in the Play-Store and ,.'
i then, after greeting Bluebird, asked him to "aing something V '
; ; .The little bird was quite willing and sang for them his "Spring f
Song so prettily that Growling Bird gave him a handful of '
' nice cornmeal to pay him for his music . Aundak cocked his'
head and listened to the song and. remarked that HE had beer i ' ,
- a fine singer himself before he became so hoarse. Well -',"

- They all thought that it was now about time for business to begin, so Aundak flew up on the counter and asked for
some sweet com: "And I want it boiled SOFT," said he, because I'm supposed to be anjnvalld just now!" Little Bear
asked for what IIS liked best which was HONEY! But. as there wst none in stock, he said MAPLE-SUGAR would do- :
provided there was PLIiNTY OF IT! Of course, no one can keep even a Play-Store very long if he CIVES AWAY all his ; ' :
Itoods. so the Children asked them to show their money. When Little B'? and Aundak said they "hadn't sny.? it wss ex-
plained to them that if they had no Shooiv-e-ysh, or Silver Money, they should get Me-gis, Indian Money, or Wampum. But
if they hadn't ANY KINO of money at all, then they must bring in things that they could trade for goods.
