Pinky was feeling quite warm in the
cunshine, as il was really the first
warm day OF the season. And ths
frst warm day OF the season always
seems very. very warm as We all
know. Pinky and Clover were two
nice rabbits.
Now Clover had a special place 70
lie in when the sun was hot and that
special place was at the side OF her
little home where there was some
shade.
She used TO lie there stretched out
Her eyes would gradually close and
many nap would she take there.
Pinky had gotten up TO look at
something which he thought he could
see II he jumped TO the top Of tHS
home. and then Glover had followed
him, for she wanted TO see whatever
he could see.
Glover decided that the top OF the
house would be a nice place for her
TO rest. though she first tried the top
of another smaller house which they
had, too, and which their little master
had built for them.
So Glover stayed on top, hat IL was
too warm here for Pinky. He Jumped
down and went in the corner where
Clover always stayed.
He had fine little nap there and
soon after he had jumped down he
was dreaming Of castles made 81 car

lettuce and of great courtyards with
clover growing everywhere.

awhile Glover was too warm on top
of the house and she decided 70 couSs
down. So she jumped down and was
about TO lie down next 10 Pinky when
Pinky jumped up from his place, quite
wide awake.
.Oh," said Glover. Il am sorry to
have disturbed your Sleep
Its all right" said Pinky. And to-
show that he meant it was all right he
