the bunny, hardly awake as yet.
Iou bring me acorns TO pay for
Your lessons Then he saw lot of
brown, dried aeorns rolling on the
floor. And as he looked toward
the window he saw Blue JAY sit
ting there. with his head and the
topknot of feathers cooked to one
side. ''What lesson do YOU want for
acorns'' asked the bunny.
"A reading lesson chirped the
Blue Jay. Il am tired of not know

was a very easy one. Pointing with
his paw at the words on ;hc page,
The rabbi. gentleman sad slowly
