Pretty Bunny began to feel a little homesick at that but she helped Aunt Etiquette fill up her dinner pail and bade good bye to Healthy Bunny at the crossroads and sang,
“Sing a song as you go by,
And never, never, never cry.”
A merry voice answered,
“I think your little rhymes are funny.
Turn around—see Shadow Bunny.”
Pretty Bunny turned around and saw Shadow Bunny behind her. She laughed at his long ears, but he said,
“I follow you about all day;
I am Shadow Bunny—I like to play.”
