Pretty Bunny was still hungry and started to take two cookies at a time to finish up her breakfast and the cookie plate called out,
“If you can learn a simple rhyme,
Take just one thing at a time.”
Pretty Bunny put one cookie back on the plate. Now, as she was not always careful to chew with her mouth closed, Aunt Etiquette remarked,
“To be well mannered ’tis supposed
To eat your food with mouth well closed.”
Pretty Bunny began to drum upon the plate and the table said,
“Bunny, ’tis a sad mistake
Drumming noises now to make.”
