At last it was quiet.
Bobby had not heard a sound for a long time.
So he peeped out of his door once more.
The sun was not shining now. The big round moon was looking down to see if all the children were in bed.
He was looking to see if all the rabbits and squirrels were in bed, too.
Bobby saw the moon and then he skipped back into his house once more.
"Oh, dear me!" he said to himself. "I am hungry. But I must wait until the sun comes up again.
"I am afraid I could not find anything to eat by the light of the moon."
Bobby went to sleep and the next time he opened his eyes it was morning.
He jumped up and ran out of doors.
