But Bunny was out of sight!
He did not stop or look around until he was safe in his own home.
"Where have you been?" asked Mother Rabbit. "I thought you were lost."
"I thought so, too," said Bunny.
"I went to visit the white rabbit who lives in a little house under the apple tree.
"And then Jack came and shut the gate and I could not get away."
"Oh, Bunny, Bunny!" said Mother Rabbit. "I thought you were too wise to get caught in a trap."
"I am now," Bunny answered, and he ran out to have a game of tag with Billy and Bobtail.
