"Oh, my nose!" said Billy. "I took a bite of clover and something stung me on the nose."
A bee flew up from the clover and sailed round and round in the air.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!" said the bee. "I stung your nose, Billy. I thought you were going to eat me."
Bunny saw the bee flying round and round over their heads.
"It must have been a bee that stung you," said Bunny.
Billy looked at the bee.
"I am going home," he said. "I did not want to come so far anyway. There are plenty of good things eat in our own field."
So Billy hopped along home very slowly.
He stopped every few steps to rub his poor little nose.
Mother Rabbit saw him coming and went to the door to meet him.
