Tippy Toes cried, "Please come down and I will show you how to dance."
Bushy-Tail was surprised you may be sure. He thought it was Snubby
Nose, and Snubby Nose never said, "Please."
He jumped off the roof with a bound and howled, "Oh, ho! So you will show me how to dance, will you?"
Then Bushy-Tail chased Tippy Toes away and away and away in the woods.
Tippy Toes said to himself,
"I'm in a corner without a doubt,
But if I keep cheerful I will get out."
At that very minute they met old Grandpa Grumbles. He said,
"It is getting cold I've heard it said,
Bushy-Tail where are your mittens, red?"
Then the most surprising thing happened!
Bushy-Tail gave a howl and ran away as fast as his legs could carry him.
"What does it all mean?" asked Tippy Toes.
