"Oh, no!" answered Bobby. "You can never catch me. You cannot climb a tree."
The three rabbits soon found some tender little roots hidden under the blanket of snow.
"This is a good breakfast," said Bunny.
"Yes, it is a very good breakfast," said Billy, as he nibbled on the root he had found.
At last Bunny jumped up and shook his long ears.
"I have finished my breakfast," he said.
"So have I," said Billy.
"So have I," said Bobtail.
"Now we can make a long slide over in the meadow," said Bunny.
"I know where we can make the best slide," said Bobtail.
