Bunny sat still on the bank, but he did not say a word.
He watched the ducks swimming round and round in the water.
"All they have to do is to paddle their feet," he said to himself.
"I am sure I can do that. But I do wish the water was not so wet."
"Are you afraid to come in?" asked Mrs. Duck.
"Are you afraid to come in?" asked Mr. Green Frog.
Of course Bunny was afraid, but he did not like to say so.
At last he stood up and went down to the edge of the brook.
He put one foot in the water, but he pulled it out again very quickly.
