Susan picked up the pink wrapper and Bunny picked up the pink cup and saucer. Bunny Cotton-Tail said, "We will have a long quiet evening alone."
"Don't be too sure of that," sang the wind as it whistled down the chimney.
Susan said, "I will put on my new spectacles and we will read by the new lamp."
Then the most surprising thing happened!
The Seventeen Little Bears came tumbling in the doors and windows!
They came in laughing and shouting,
"The Circus Cotton-Tails you see
Are just as funny as can be."
They got out their seventeen little stools and sat by the fire.
Bunny and Susan said, "What do you know about the Circus Cotton-Tails?"
The Seventeen Little Bears said,
"You only see them now at Fairs,
But we've become the Circus Bears."
