"Sh-s-sh!" whispered the old gentleman bunny, "don't mention his name. I have only ten pounds of cheese for the rarebit. He'd eat a ton at one bite." Then they went on until they met Little Red Riding Hood.
"Come to my party, come at eight,
And bring your key to my little front gate."
"I'll be there," answered Little Red Riding Hood, and she ran down to the village to buy a new gown.
"Now who else?" asked the old gentleman rabbit.
"Goodness me, yes, indeed, there's Bo Peep," said Billy Bunny. And in the next story you shall hear about the party.
