“Have you heard Nobody Knows?” Buddie asked. The question was addressed to the Rabbit particularly.

“Oh, yes,” said he; “but I don’t think the others have heard it.”

“I’m sure I never have,” said the Donkey.

“Nor I,” said the Middle Bear.

“I can’t seem to remember the first line,” said Buddie. “There were so many verses, and all the lines were so much alike.”

“It begins ‘We know—’” prompted the Rabbit.

“I thought the song was called Nobody Knows,” the Owl tittered.
