Jack. “We shall call every interesting thing we find a 
treasure.” 
“Fine!” exclaimed Buddy. 
“Oh, Mother,” added Marylee, “will you go with us?” 
“No, I shall let Uncle Jack take my place tomorrow,” 
said Mother. “I have been out with you so often in the 
last few days. Uncle Jack has come to be with us for a 
long time, and he knows much more than I do about the 
things you will find.” 
“Uncle Jack, may we take Fred and Bess with us?” 
asked Buddy. “Fred is my chum, and Bess plays with 
Marylee almost every day.” 
“Do you think we could take enough lunch for all of 
us?” asked Uncle Jack, smiling. 
“Fred and Bess together don't eat as much as Buddy,” 
said Marylee. 
“Oh, they do, too,” said Buddy. “I don't eat so much.” 
“Run along and ask them if they will go,” interrupted 
Mother. “Uncle Jack was only teasing.”
