Violet says she likes farm animals and has always rather wanted a farm, perhaps with some chickens, a sheep, and a smallish cow, which would eat all the leftover grass so the holes would not be so noticeable. Mama says she quite likes farm animals too, but not necessarily in her own garden, since keeping a farm is a lot of work, and also the neighbors might complain about all the clucking and mooing.

So in the end they decide to go to the plant nursery and buy a packet of bulbs, since the earth has been freshly turned, and it is actually just the right time of year for planting them. Even though it is getting late by the time they get home, they neaten up the holes in the grass and plant the big, knobbly bulbs in the soft, brown soil.

Violet is still disappointed, of course. It would have been much better to find some treasure or an ancient dinosaur bone, and to have been on a talk show, and best of all for the Blue China Bird to be nesting on the table next to her bed. But even so, she quite likes thinking of daffodils and jonquils starting to grow where the treasure was supposed to be.
