And Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends
when they were brought back to her with
complaints.
And when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to,
he stayed in bed, and would say nothing but "very
snug;" which is not the way to carry on a retail
business.
So everybody was pleased when Sally Henny
Penny sent out a printed poster to say that she
was going to re-open the shop—Henny's Opening
Sale! Grand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny
prices! Come buy, come try, come buy!"
The poster really was most enticing.
There was a rush upon the opening day. The shop
was crammed with customers, and there were
crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.
Sally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she
tries to count out change, and she insists on being
paid cash; but she is quite harmless.
