He took off his cap politely and said:

“May I come in and warm my paws?

Its freezing cold until it thaws.”

“Gave him a plate of cakes”

Seeing that Old Brother Bear was friendly, Old Father Bun allowed him to sit in a rocking chair by the fire. Old Mother Bun gave him a plate of cakes, smoking hot, with honey on them. Old Mother Bun said:

“I hope, kind sir, that you like honey;

It makes me think of our Runaway Bunny.”

“Did he have long ears and a tiny tail?” asked Old Brother Bear.

“Yes, yes,” shouted Old Mother Bun.
