His little sweater did not keep him warm enough.
“He was getting colder every minute”
His little paws were very cold! His long ears were even colder! He was getting colder every minute as he went hippety-hop across the snow!
The next minute he jumped into such a deep snowdrift that only his long ears stuck out. The snow got into his nose and eyes until he could scarcely breathe. He tried to wriggle out, but the drift held him fast.
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle went some sleigh bells. And a funny old man, dressed in fur from top to toe and carrying a big pack on his back, came riding along.
He was singing:
“I carry presents, as is my habit,
Aha! I think I see a rabbit.”
He got out of his sleigh and waded into the snowdrift from which the Bunny’s ears stuck out.
