Every day after that the rabbits went to visit Mrs. Duck.
But they did not tell the secret to any of their friends.
Then, one day, when the rabbits went to visit Mrs. Duck, she would not get off the nest.
"Quack, quack!" she said. "I can not let you see the eggs to-day. I you will come to-morrow I will show you what I have in my nest."
So the rabbits hopped away, leaving Mrs. Duck alone on her nest under the bushes.
The next morning, bright and early, the rabbits hopped along the little path.
They found Mrs. Duck still sitting in the nest.
They saw some little yellow heads peeping out from under her wings.
"Quack, quack!" she said. "See my ducks. They are the prettiest ducks you ever saw.
"And they have the brightest eyes in the world."
