So they all started off together in a state of perfect delight. Presently, they came to where Bunny the rabbit lived.
"Bunny, Bunny," called Jack. Out popped little Bunny, flapping his long ears, and winking his red eyes, and gave a funny little squeak; which meant, "How-de-do, Jack, what do you want?"
"Bunny," said Jack, "do you want to go to the baker's with us to buy a loaf of bread?"
"Oh! of course I do," squeaked Bunny. So Jack the boy, and Carlo the dog, and Minnie the cat, and Bunny the rabbit, made quite a party.

"Jenny," said Jack, "do you want to go to the baker's with us to buy a loaf of bread?"
"Chip, chip, chip," said Jenny; which was bird-talk for "Oh! of course I do."
"Well, come along, then," said Jack. Down flew Jenny, and hopped along with the rest. So Jack the boy, and Carlo the dog, and Minnie the cat, and Bunny the rabbit, and Jenny the wren, made a jolly little party, all going to the baker's together. I wish I had been there, don't you?
Pretty soon they came to where Ninny the goose lived. "Ninny, Ninny," called Jack; "do you want to go to the baker's with us to buy a loaf of bread?"
