They ran round and round the maple tree. They ran back and forth along the little path.
All at once Bunny heard Mrs. Duck coming across the field.
She was going to the barn.
"Good-morning, Mrs. Duck," said Bunny.
"Where are you going this fine morning?"
"Quack, quack!" said Mrs. Duck, "I am going to the barn."
"Where have you been?" asked Billy.
"Quack, quack!" said Mrs. Duck. "That is a secret. I can not tell you."
Then Mrs. Duck walked quickly along the little path and across the road.
She went into the barn-yard and hunted around for something to eat.
