The cookie animal shouted,
“I am ahead in the race,
Don’t bite the nose from my face.”
Curly-Tail came nearer, and nearer, and the cookie animal cried out,
“Don’t bite my paws, don’t bite my ears,
Can’t you see I’ve shed some tears?”
Curly-Tail came so near that the cookie animal felt his hot breath and he whispered,
“I have some feelings, I’m growing pale,
Don’t come any nearer Curly-Tail.”
