“Brother Bear came up and whispered softly”
Then Brother Bear came up and whispered softly:
“Ask Foxy-Lox down in his den,
And his little gentlemen!”
The Runaway Bunny was very angry to think Foxy-Lox would take his dinner pail. He wanted to go to Foxy-Lox’s house and get it back.
But Old Brother Bear said:
“I’d rather lose a pail or two
Than have him make a meal of you!”
The Runaway Bunny saw that Brother Bear was right. It would never do to go to Foxy-Lox’s house for his dinner pail. Besides, that sly fox would never give it back.
