Danny Fox behind a tree,”
cried a little voice.
And that’s just what it did, for the little firefly swung her tiny lantern to and fro until the big elephant said all of a sudden:
“I see him!” Which so frightened the old robber that he turned and fled.
“Go ahead, little firefly. I’ll follow if you don’t go out,” went on the big brave circus animal.
“Never fear,” answered the little firefly. “I have a tiny electric bulb in my lantern. You don’t think I use a flickery candle, do you?”
“Bend your head or maybe you’ll be brushed off my back,” warned the Circus Elephant, following the tiny light. So Little Jack Rabbit lay flat down on the big animal’s back and away they went through the darkness, in and out among the forest trees, while Billy Breeze sang a sleepy song about rocking chairs and tick-tocky clocks and tired feet and little pink socks.
