Proudly displaying it on the rude railing of the bridge , she added , with a happy face , -- `` Granny gave it to me , and all the money in it is going to be mine . '' `` How much have you got ? '' asked the old gentleman , who appeared to like to sit there in the middle of the brook , while Jack bathed his feet and leisurely gurgled and sneezed . `` Not a penny yet , but I 'm going to earn some , '' answered Marjorie , patting the little bank with an air of resolution pretty to see . `` How will you do it ? '' continued the inquisitive old man . `` Oh , I 'm going to pick berries and dig dandelions , and weed , and drive cows , and do chores . It is vacation , and I can work all the time , and earn ever so much . '' `` But vacation is play-time , -- how about that ? '' `` Why , that sort of work IS play , and I get bits of fun all along . I always have a good swing when I go for the cows , and pick flowers with the dandelions . Weeding is n't so nice , but berrying is very pleasant , and we have good times all together . '' `` What shall you do with your money when you get it ? '' `` Oh , lots of things ! Buy books and clothes for school , and , if I get a great deal , give some to granny . I 'd love to do that , for she takes care of me , and I 'd be so proud to help her ! '' `` Good little lass ! '' said the old gentleman , as he put his hand in his pocket . `` Would you now ? '' he added , apparently addressing himself to a large frog who sat upon a stone , looking so wise and grandfatherly that it really did seem quite proper to consult him .
At all events , he XXXXX his opinion in the most decided manner , for , with a loud croak , he turned an undignified somersault into the brook , splashing up the water at a great rate .
