His little heart went thump, for he did not know what he should find inside.
The door opened a little and a very old Rabbit peeped out and said:
And now, sir, what have you to say?”
The Runaway Bunny hung his head, for he had never been generous enough to give away anything in all his life. But as the rain was falling fast, he wanted to go in and dry his fur and whiskers.
So he said:
“May I do any errands for you today?
I like to travel away, away.”
In answer to this, the door was opened wide and he hopped inside.
My, what a wonderful sight he saw!
