"If we could only do something to stop him!" sighed the Celluloid Doll. But they could do nothing.
Watching his chance, Tom hurried out of Madeline's house, carrying with him the Easter present. And as for the poor Candy Rabbit, he did not know what to do. He could not get out of that boy's pocket, no matter how hard he tried.
"I'll show this Candy Rabbit to Sam and Pete," said Tom to himself, as he hurried down the street. "We'll have some fun with it."
Sam and Pete were two boys with whom Tom played. Tom looked for them as he ran down the street, the Candy Rabbit jiggling around among the things in his pocket.
"I hope my ears aren't broken off," sighed the poor Bunny. "This is the most dreadful and cramped place I was ever in."
Suddenly Tom spied his two chums.
"Hi there!" he called to them. "Look what I got!"
"What?"
He took the Candy Rabbit from his pocket and held him up.
"That's a dandy!" exclaimed Pete.
