[“And we didn’t really mean to laugh at you,” exclaimed Flop Ear.] “You see, I have a funny ear, and I am named after that.”
“Oh, I don’t mind being laughed at,” Squinty said quickly. “I am used to it. Whenever the folks come and look down in my pen they laugh at me too.”
“And my rabbit friends laugh at me,” said Flop Ear, “so it is all the same.”
“Do you like it in the pen?” asked Pink Nose. “It seems so open, where every one can look in on you.”
“Oh, yes, we all like it here,” said Squinty. “We have lots of fun. We play, and scratch each others’ backs. Did you ever have your back scratched, little rabbits?”
“Oh, no, never,” said Flop Ear. “But sometimes mother rubs my ears, and I like that.”
“I guess it’s all the same,” Squinty said, trying to turn around to look at the curl in his tail.
Then the bunnies said good-by to the little pigs, and ran on. But if you would like to know more about Squinty you may read of him in a book like this one, named “Squinty, the Comical Pig; His Many Adventures.”
