He said, "If you are home by dinner time Papa Cotton-Tail, may I go and visit Bunny and Susan?"
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "If I get home in time with Susan's spectacles you may go to-day."
Papa Cotton-Tail put on his big fur coat and went merrily down the road. Mother Cotton-Tail began to make cookies and Tippy Toes rolled them out for her. Now, will you believe it? before they had a single pan of cookies baked, Papa Cotton-Tail was back home again.
Mother Cotton-Tail said, "Why are you back so soon?"
Tippy Toes said, "Did you get the spectacles already?"
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "I met a peddler and he had a pair of black spectacles in his pack."
Papa Cotton-Tail put on the black spectacles and he looked so funny that Mother Cotton-Tail said, "Let me try them on," and Tippy Toes cried, "Please let me try them on!"
Mother Cotton-Tail said, "I will pack Bunny's lamp and Susan's spectacles and you may start on your long journey at once."
Tippy Toes put on his best coat and cap and kissed his mother good-bye.
Papa Cotton-Tail went with him again to the bend of the road. Suddenly
Tippy Toes stopped still. He stopped stock-still in the road. He said,
"Oh, Pa, I must go back, I forgot something!"
What do you suppose Tippy Toes forgot?
