. Bunker, as the
expressman put it down on the porch, and Margy, with the help of her
mother, "wiggled" out.
"Yes, she was in there," was the man's answer. "I loaded that bundle on
last, I remember, because it was soft and I didn't want to crush it with
the heavy trunks. It's a good thing I did, though I didn't know there was
a little girl inside."
"How did you find out she was in there?" asked Mrs. Bunker.
"Well, I stopped my machine when I got down the street a way, to take on
some more packages," answered the expressman, "and I heard a funny sound.
It was like a sneeze."
"I did sneeze," said Margy, while Norah was busy smoothing the wrinkles
out of her dress. "Some dust got up my nose and I sneezed."
"First I thought it was a little puppy dog, or a cat--sometimes people
send animals by express," explained the driver. "But when I looked back I
saw a little girl's head sticking out of the bundle, and I knew right away
where she belonged. I thought you didn't want to ship her as baggage or
by express, so I brought her back as fast as I could."
"I'm glad you did," said Mrs. Bunker. "We couldn't imagine where she had
gone."
"What did you do, Margy?" asked Russ.
"I--I just crawled inside the bundle," replied the little girl "I
'membered I put my rubber ball inside, and I wanted it, so I wiggled
inside. And when I got there I was so tired I went to sleep, I guess."
And that is just what happened. Margy had wiggled herself all the way
inside the bundle, which was not wrapped very tightly. It was big enough
to hold her, and neither her feet nor her head stuck out of either end.
The bundle had been put on the porch with the trunks, and Margy found it
easy to crawl into it after her ball, which, with other toys of the
children, had been put in the bundle at the last minute.
"Well, now we'll start off again," said Daddy Bunker. "Don't any of you
children crawl into any bundles, or shut yourselves up in trunks! We all
want to go to Grandma Bell's together."
