1. Harry and Dora were coming home with their mother from a long walk, when they saw some rabbits playing about on the grass.
2. They wished to stay and watch them, and the three sat down on a log a little way off.
'Oh, look at that one going into a hole!' said Dora. 'See his funny tail. Why is he going into a hole?'
3. 'That is his house,' said their mother. 'I daresay he is sleepy and wants to go to bed.'
'He goes early, then, like the birds?'
'Yes, about sunset. He gets up a little before sunrise.
4. 'There goes another! They will soon all be gone.'
'Then we can look at their houses?'
