At this the Runaway Bunny winked one eye; for he never stayed anywhere very long.

He had formed the habit of running away.

He next went with a hop and a skip and a bound, and brought in wood and water.

Old Father Bun was delighted. He said:

“I swear, by my long and floppy ears,

I will keep you here for years and years!”

“Opened his traveling bag”

The Runaway Bunny looked cross-eyed; but he had a merry time all day.
