Rabbit. I shall not forget. I’m off. [To himself.] I’ll just make a nest of grass for each child, and leave it on the doorstep. An egg and a spring flower in each—and the children will know!
Part IV—The Message
First Child. What a pretty nest! I found it on my doorstep—flowers and twigs and an egg.
Second Child. I found one, too—with everything in it from the woods.
Third child. Oh! Spring must be here.
First child. See, here are the tracks of the rabbit’s feet! He came to tell us.
Second Child. Then spring is here. Let’s run to the woods—now!
Children. [Running.] Spring is here! Bunny has brought us the message.
