Billy Bunny and His Friends

Well. the cricket on the hearth didn
catch the little gray mouse. a. was
afraid he might In the last story, 40
I'll tell you what happened to Uncle
Lucky's Old Wedding Stovepipe Hat.
You see, he hung 1t up In the hall on
the hat rack after he came in from his
exciting ride when the Wicked Gray
Wolf chased him. as you will remember
in the last story. Now. when every.
body had gone to bed that little gray
mouse ran up and tried to put It on her
head. But oh, dear me! She let II
drop with terrible bang and this
woke up the old gentleman rabbit and
he peeped down stairs to see what was
the matter and when he saw his dear
old wedding stovepipe hat on the floor
he slid down the banisters in his pink
pajamas and picked 1t UP and busted 1t
or as carefully as you please. Ana
then he went up to his room and fell
asleep. and then he had wonderful
dream. He dreamed that he was In n
sweet clover patch where all the pink
and white clover tops were In full
bloom and he was just going to eat as
he had never eaten before, when an
OF a sudden the clover tops turned into
foxes heads and this scared the old
gentleman rabbit so that he woke up
with dreadful start.
And then the Old Red Rooster began
to crow, so Uncle Lucky knew 1t was
just about time to get up, so. he pulled
his gold watch and chain from under
his pillow. and, sure enough, 1t was al
most IS o'clock, so UP he hoped and
put on his collar and then he went
downstairs and made the Kitchen fire
for Mrs. Bunny. And in few minutes
after that Billy Bunny and his mother
came down, and pretty soon she had q
nice hot breakfast ready.
