"You'll take no nap when with us you go, We may ride too fast, but never slow!" Doctor Cotton-Tail took a seat in the merry-go-round. The music began to play and they went round, and round, and round, faster and faster. Bunny began to talk about his fur and whiskers. Susan began to talk about her buttons. Grandpa Grumbles shouted,
For a cold fact, there was a right smart chance that Hart's nephew and 'specially because his fool luck made most things come to him contrary really might run himself into a hold-up; and, if he did, it was like as not his chips might get called in. For all Hill's funny talk about meeting nothing worse'n burros and cotton-tail rabbits, that road was a bad road and things was liable to occur.
The Seventeen Little Bears formed a circle and skated round. Suddenly the ice gave way. Splash, dash, they all fell into the water! Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes danced this way, and they danced that way, and shouted, "Help, help, help! The Seventeen Little Bears have fallen into the water!" Doctor Cotton-Tail was riding by in his sleigh. He said, "Come, we will pull them out of the water."
Then Tippy Toes danced this way and he danced that way, and he said, "That is a matter I do not disclose, But, sir, my name is not Snubby Nose." Bushy-Tail was surprised you may be sure. He said, "Well, you and Snubby Nose are as much alike as two peas." Tippy Toes bowed and said, "Will you please tell me how I may know when I have passed by the house Bunny and Susan Cotton-Tail live in?"
Tippy Toes did not say he was going to stop and see Bunny and Susan. Bushy-Tail looked cross-eyed. He said, "If you will tell me your name little fellow, I will take you straight to Bunny Cotton-Tail's house in the woods." I do not know what would have happened next if Grandpa Grumbles and Doctor Cotton-Tail had not come along.
He had heard of a big gold mine in the West, and he wanted Grizzly Bear and the Cotton-Tail family to go west with him to buy the gold mine. Old Grizzly was delighted with the idea, but Bunny and Susan said they would rather stay at home. As they were talking, "Tap, tap," was heard on the window again, and there stood Bunny Boy. He had come home from his travels!
He hid an apple pie in his hat, and he went slyly out of the door with a piece of blueberry pie in his mouth! Next morning, when Bunny and Susan awoke, they saw that their pies were gone, and they saw that Bushy Tail and Bunny Boy were gone too! Susan Cotton-Tail cried, and Bunny Cotton-Tail whistled. Why do you suppose Susan Cotton-Tail had made so many pies?
Bunny said, "Have you lost your spectacles?" Susan Cotton-Tail said, "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" The Seventeen Little Bears all came crowding around Susan to see what was the matter. Susan still rocked to and fro and said, "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" Bunny said, "Will you never tell us what is the matter?" Susan said finally,
They all cried, "Give three cheers, away we go, The Circus Cotton-Tails, ho, ho!" The merry-go-round would not start. They all got out to see what was the matter. Then the most surprising thing happened! Doctor Cotton-Tail jumped out from under the merry-go-round and said, "A-riding, too, I'd like to go, Though I may take a nap or so." Grandpa Grumbles said cheerfully,
"Chilly weather," said Bunny Cotton-Tail. "Chilly weather," said Susan. Then the most surprising thing happened! Grandpa Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella and out came flower seeds falling everywhere. The Seventeen Little Bears scrambled to pick them up. "Who will make your garden?" asked Doctor Cotton-Tail, looking at Bunny and Susan.
