Cookies and Crutches Page 3

  Everyone knew who that badge was for!

  The Pee Wee Scouts all looked at Molly.

  “Molly Duff,” said Mrs. Peters. “Come up and get your badge please.”

  Molly got up.

  She walked to the front of the room on her crutches.

  “Thank you,” she said as she pinned it onto her blouse.

  The badge was beautiful.

  It had a little bed on it.

  It looked like Molly’s bed!

  Across the bed was a little thermometer.

  Around the edge it said THE GOOD PATIENT BADGE.

  Molly hobbled back to her chair.

  Everyone clapped.

  She was glad to have a badge to pin on next to her cookie badge.

  It wasn’t as good as a skating badge.

  But almost!
