THE KINGS RABBITS.
(By Virginia Vale. )


 Once upon a time there was a boy King who ruled in a country far away
 He had everything he wanted and his friends were always sending him presents
 One day two beautiful white rabbits were sent to him. He was very much pleased and every morning would go and feed and play with them.
 One day when he went to give them their breakfast he found they were not there. He called all the people to the palace and told them he would grant any wish to the person that found his rabbits.
 A little girl whose father was the Kings gardener, started at once to look for the rabbits She looked at the cabbage garden and found that some of the cabbages had been nib bIed.
 So she followed and at last caught up to the rabbits who were eating the young leaves as happy as could be. The little girl had often fed them so when she called they came up to her and she put. them in her apron and carried them back to the King
 The King was happy because he had his pets back and rememb bered his promise so asked the little girl what she wanted.
 ! She said. Please would like just one white rabbit for my own.,'
 So the King said he would give he1 what she had asked and now the little girl is happy with rabbit nf her own
