r!" sobbed Rose. "She's all spoiled!"
"Never mind," said Mrs. Bunker. "We can sew the buttons on again. But you
boys shouldn't have done it," she told Russ and Laddie. "What made you?"
"Well, we wanted to shuck something," said Russ, who was beginning to feel
a little sorry for what he had done, "Tom told us not to shuck any kernels
off the corn, 'cause he'd fed the chickens enough. And he said we mustn't
put our hands or any sticks in the machine. But we wanted to shuck
something."
"And the yellow shoe buttons on Rose's doll looked just like corn," added
Laddie.
Mrs. Bunker wanted to laugh, but she did not even smile. Rose felt too
bad.
"There's a wheel inside this machine, Tom told us," said Russ, "and it's
got a lot of sharp points on it. And when it goes around and the ears of
corn get down inside, the points on the wheel knock and pull all the
kernels off.
"We didn't durst take any ears of corn, so we took Rose's doll and we put
her through the sheller. Rose said we might. And all her buttons came off
just like kernels."
"So I see," said Mrs. Bunker. "Well, don't do it again."
"We won't," promised Laddie. "Here's your doll, Rose," he added, as he
picked it up off the floor. Every button had been pulled off in the
machine.
"Oh, dear!" sighed his sister. "She's spoiled!"
"Oh, no. I'll help you make her look like a messenger again, Rose," said
her mother "But you boys had better keep away from the corn-shelling
machine. You might be hurt."
Russ and Laddie promised. They had not really meant to annoy Rose, but
they had just not stopped to think. They did so want to see the yellow
shoe buttons pulled off their sister's doll. And that's just what
happened. The doll was shaped something like an ear of corn, and the
yellow buttons stuck out like kernels. And so the doll was "shucked."
After a while Rose got over feeling bad, and the next day all the yellow
buttons were sewed back on the doll. And Tom kept the corncrib locked, so
Laddie and Russ could not get
