As soon as the Candy Rabbit and Monkey found themselves alone they looked at one another and began to talk, as they were allowed to do.
"Where in the world have you been?" asked the Candy Rabbit.
"You may well ask that," replied the Monkey. "I have had so many adventures, and I met some friends of yours."
"Friends of mine?" repeated the Candy Rabbit. "Do you mean the Lamb on Wheels or the Bold Tin Soldier?"
"Neither one. I mean Live Rabbits," answered the Monkey. Then he told of going to the cave of Jack Hare and of being caught in the rain storm.
"Oh, what wonderful adventures!" exclaimed the Candy Rabbit.
