"Just wait!" echoed the Rabbit Gray family, and Mr. T. Cat.
Honor Bright was as good as his word, and the geese grew fatter, and fatter, and fatter.
"Good morning, Mr. T. Cat," cried Mr. and Mrs. Goose early one morning. "Had your breakfast?"
"Of course," answered Mr. T. Cat; "Honor Bright always feeds me the very first thing."
"You must be mistaken!" cried Mr. and Mrs, Goose. "Honor Bright always feeds us first."
"But Honor Bright gives my children their breakfast very early!" cackled Mother Hen.
"Well," squeaked Father Rabbit Gray, "we've all had breakfast; and that's the main thing. Now, let's make Honor Bright president, because he's so good. That's the way people do, you know."
Just then Honor Bright came out. "Hail, President Honor Bright!" they all cried.
Honor Bright thought they said, "I love you." And really, it meant the same thing.
