BABY’S CORNER.
WHAT HAPPENED TO BUNNY.
BUNNY is the name of a squirrel with a very long tail.
When nuts were ripe Bunny worked hard to pick them and store them up for his family to live on through the cold winter.
His house was in a big hollow tree. The door to it was a little round hole. He had a nice large pantry.
All day long, in the pleasant Oc-to-ber weather, when children were playing, Bunny was picking nuts and scampering down the trees to put them safe in his pantry.
He had a good many kinds of nuts. There were butternuts and walnuts and chestnuts, and tiny beechnuts for the teeny weeny squirrels. At last Bunny’s pantry was full, and he was all ready for December with its cold winds and snowflakes.
One morning something happened! Just as Bunny started out he found a wire cage in front of his door. He thought it was a pretty little house, so he walked in.
Snap! went the door of this pretty little house, and shut itself tight.
