The Runaway Bunny was thinking hard again, “No breakfast, no dinner, no supper!” He sat down on a log to think.

Pitter, patter, clitter, clatter, came the sound of two little feet. And another Bunny stood in the path before him.

This new friend now said:

“I went to the side show and took in money,

So you may call me a wee Circus Bunny.”

“Then he stood on his head”

Then he stood on his head and did several circus tricks, as cunning as could be. At any other time the Runaway Bunny would have laughed. But he only said mournfully:

“The world is large, the world is wide,

And I am empty quite—inside!”
