Susan held the candle at the door and old Grizzly went to his new home.
"I like him, but I am glad he went out for the night," said Bunny. "Just think!" Susan said, "he has promised to come in every night and tell us a story!"
CHAPTER III
When old Grizzly came next evening he had a book tucked under his arm.
"What have you there?" asked Bunny and Susan together.
It was some time before old Grizzly would tell. Then he coughed and said he had one story that every one liked so well that he had written it down, and drawn pictures for it.
The two rabbits begged so hard to see the pictures that old Grizzly opened the book and showed them all the pictures before he began to read. And this is the story he read:
Once there was a gentleman who wrote stories. He had a fine large cat called Whiskers.
One day Whiskers thought he would see the man write his story, so he sat up on the desk beside him.
The man started to write a story about an elephant. It was to be a long story with big words in it.
