It was a very loud noise and he wondered what it could be.
He could not see the field from the tree where he was sitting.
So he ran down to the ground and skipped along—to the old stone wall.
"Whirr, whirr, whirr!" the noise came nearer and nearer.
"Oh, dear me!" said Sammy. "I know what that is. Mr. Man is cutting the grass in the field.
"Now all the families that live there will have to move out."
Sammy sat still and watched to who would be the first to move.
He had not been sitting on the wall very long when he saw the whole rabbit family coming out of the field, one behind the other.
Mrs. Rabbit had on her bonnet and shawl. She was carrying Baby Rabbit in her arms.
Father Rabbit had a big basket.
