“I’m going to run!” thought Flop Ear. “That may be danger. I’ll go home and tell the folks I heard a queer noise.”
CHAPTER II
FLOP EAR FINDS SOMETHING
Along through the woods ran Flop Ear, the funny rabbit. Every now and then he would look over his shoulder, to see if there was a storm coming up. For sometimes it thundered away off on the other side of the mountain, and it would be a good while before the rain came near the rabbit house. But this time not a cloud came into the sky, and the loud banging noise did not sound again.
“If that was thunder, it was a very queer kind,” Flop Ear said to himself. “I never before heard any like it.”
Along he hopped, going faster and faster, until, a little way ahead of him in the woods, he saw his brother Pink Nose.
“Hello!” cried Pink Nose. “Why are you running so fast?”
“Because I heard a funny noise,” answered Flop Ear, “and I want to tell mother and father about it.”
“I don’t hear any noise,” said Pink Nose.
