“I’m glad to be home in time for lunch,” said the old gentleman rabbit, as he opened his kitchen door. “I’m as hungry as two bears and three wildcats.”

“Home again, home again,

Where it’s nice and warm.

Home’s the nicest place to be

When it’s going to storm.

Let the lightning flash and dart,

Let the thunder roar;

What care we when safe at home

And bolted is the door?”

sang his tiny mouse housekeeper.
