"Well, well!" said Bunny. "I will try again to-morrow. I will ask Bobtail to come with me. Perhaps he can keep awake."

The next day the three little rabbits sat under the maple tree to watch for Mrs. Duck.
They waited and waited.
It was very warm in the field.
After a while the three little rabbits became sleepy.
Then Bobtail jumped up on his feet and began to hop around.
"Let's play tag," he said. "If we sit here in the sun we shall go to sleep.
"Then we shall not see Mrs. Duck when she walks along the path."
So the three rabbits played tag.
