It took the Circus Cotton-Tails and Bunny and Susan just exactly one hour and sixteen minutes to put up the merry-go-round, and Grandpa Grumbles bossed the job.
"Will it go?" asked Bunny and Susan under their breath.
Grandpa Grumbles was the first to get in. He cried,
"I'm the first to get inside,
Come one and all and have a ride."
Susan said, "Oh, dear! I have lost my spectacles."
It took the Circus Cotton-Tails one hour and sixteen minutes to find Susan's spectacles. There they were safe and sound upon her forehead all the time! Then Bunny went in-doors and burned his paw again by candle-light and it took one hour and sixteen minutes to get his paw well.
Grandpa Grumbles did not grumble a bit. He only sat patiently in the merry-go-round and said to Susan,
"Now, the spectacles are found,
All jump in the merry-go-round."
Then he called good-naturedly to Bunny,
"If you'll use a lamp dear Bunny,
It will save you time and money."
