“Let’s open the letter, then we’ll see
What it contains of mystery.”
Old Mother Bun said,
“Surely, this little Bunny is wise;
The letter may have in it a surprise.”
Old Father Bun took a knife, slit open the envelope and looked at once at the end of the sheet to see whom it was from. It was signed, “Bunny Etiquette.” The letter read,
“Bunnyville, March 9th, 1921.
Dear Brother Bun:
It is chilly this spring and the wind blows round my cottage, and I need some one to bring in wood and water and cheer me up.
I am writing to ask if you could spare Pretty Bunny to come and make me a visit. I am lonesome and I often think I can hear the “pitter-patter” of little feet on the stairs.
