As he stealthily reached for his weapon the cotton-tail took two slow hops and went into the log. Charge bayonets! pat-pat-pat slam! and the stick rattled in the hole, the deadly iron at one end and the deadly boy at the other. And yet nothing was impaled. Singular!
Susan said to Doctor Cotton-Tail, "How did you happen to come out in this big snowstorm?" Doctor Cotton-Tail said, "I had a call to make, I was going to visit " Just then Susan began to sneeze. She sneezed so hard she nearly sneezed her head off! Doctor Cotton-Tail said, "Susan that is quite absurd, Such sneezing I have never heard."
He said, "To-morrow I will go and find Tippy Toes." Where do you suppose Tippy Toes was, and what do you suppose he was doing? He woke up in his warm little bed at home and said, "Oh, Ma! Oh, Pa! I want to go and visit Bunny and Susan Cotton-Tail." Mother Cotton-Tail laughed and said, "You have read about Bunny Cotton-Tail burning his paw by candle-light."
Susan said by and by, "I beg your pardon, what were you saying when I started to sneeze?" Doctor Cotton-Tail said, "I had a call, I was going to visit " At this very minute Snubby Nose set up a shout, for dear Bunny Cotton-Tail leaned too near the candle and burned one of his whiskers! Then Grandpa Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella fiercely and said,
Bunny Cotton-Tail began again, "Once when I was young " "Rap-a-tap" sounded on the door. Tippy Toes went and let in the Grocer boy. He curled up again at Bunny Cotton-Tail's feet and said, "Now Bunny, please tell me the story." Bunny Cotton-Tail began again, "Once, when I was young " Then the most surprising thing happened! Soot began to pour down the chimney. It flew all over the room.
Most of the trouble was in the dance-hall, where it was apt to be, and had its start, as it did generally, right around the Sage-Brush Hen: who kept on being dressed up in her white frock and wearing her white sun-bonnet, and looked as demure as a cotton-tail rabbit, and cut up so reckless I reckon she about made a record for carryings on!
Now, mind don't stand still, boys, but walk along as ye fire, to give 'em the notion there's more of us. An' don't fire at nothin'. They'd think we was in a funk. An' when you hear me whistle get into the house as quick as a cotton-tail rabbit an' as sly as a snake."
"I will go and find Snubby Nose," he said, "for he must be as ugly as I am with my little turned-up nose." He went running down the road and was soon off and away. The wind whistled in his ears. At that very minute he heard Papa Cotton-Tail crying, "Hello, hello! Come back to the bend in the road, Tippy Toes." Tippy Toes said to himself, "What can Papa Cotton-Tail want? Shall I never get started?"
Tippy Toes cried, "Good night Bunny and Susan, good night dear Grandpa Grumbles," and he danced this way, and danced that way, and he danced himself right up to bed. "How polite he is," said Bunny Cotton-Tail. Susan said, "He does not seem to mind when we speak of noses!" Grandpa Grumbles said, "He does not cry any more." They all sat by the fire warming their paws. Grandpa Grumbles was thinking.
He said, "I do wish I could go and find Snubby Nose; I wonder if Bunny and Susan can tell me about him." Tippy Toes sat down in front of the clock and began to count the hours until Mother Cotton-Tail would come home. He fell asleep and dreamed that he saw a little Bunny exactly like himself stuck fast in a snowdrift. When he woke up it was five o'clock and Papa Cotton-Tail had just come home.
