Snubby Nose cried so loudly that they did not hear the "patter, patter, patter" of little feet. They did not know that Tippy Toes was coming down the staircase. Tippy Toes came dancing into the room, singing at the top of his lungs,
"Who is so ugly? Nobody knows."
The mirror answers, "Snubby Nose?"
Then for one single minute Snubby Nose was still. He looked at Tippy
Toes. He looked him up and down.
Tippy Toes kissed him on both cheeks and nearly hugged the life out of him.
Bunny and Susan and Grandpa Grumbles said, "They are as much alike as two peas. They both have ugly noses!"
When Snubby Nose heard them speak of noses he cried and he screamed and he howled!
Tippy Toes said, "Don't care about your nose. People know you wherever you go."
Snubby Nose pricked up his ears and asked, "Don't you mind about your ugly nose at all."
Tippy Toes danced this way and he danced that way and answered,
"I don't mind noses, for you see,
I am polite as I can be."
