that he saw a little Bunny exactly like himself stuck fast in a snowdrift. When he woke up it was five o'clock and Papa Cotton-Tail had just come home. They got supper and waited, and waited, for Mother Cotton-Tail. At exactly six o'clock she came in. She was an hour late. She came on the stroke of the clock. She said, "I have been shopping all day." Mother Cotton-Tail took a wonderful lamp from her basket. It had a pink shade and a tall chimney. Papa Cotton-Tail said, "If you send the lamp to Bunny I must send something to Susan. I will go to town to-morrow and get Susan a pair of spectacles." Tippy Toes said, "Oh Pa, may I go with you to town to-morrow?" Papa Cotton-Tail said, "Who will roll out the cookies for Mother Cotton-Tail? Who will run her little errands all day?" Then Tippy Toes danced this way, and he danced that way, and sang, "Who will do errands? Whom do you suppose? Who will roll cookies? Little Tippy Toes."

Papa Cotton-Tail called, "Hurry, hurry, it is time for breakfast." Then Tippy Toes drew a bucket full of water and said, "Is poor Pussy still in the well?" Papa Cotton-Tail said, "If you ever read your Mother Goose you would know she is not in the well." "Who pulled her out?" asked Tippy Toes. Mother Cotton-Tail said, "Hush, be still, you ask too many questions!" Tippy Toes wondered all day who pulled poor Pussy out. He danced this way, and he danced that way, and he set the table for breakfast. He said, "If you are home by dinner time Papa Cotton-Tail, may I go and visit Bunny and Susan?" Papa Cotton-Tail said, "If I get home in time with Susan's spectacles you may go to-day." Papa Cotton-Tail put on
