Bunny Cotton-Tail shoveled as fast as he could, and in sixteen minutes he had Snubby Nose out of the snowdrift. Susan put him in the wheelbarrow and wheeled him to the house. All the time Snubby Nose cried and he screamed and he howled! Susan said, "Go and get the big tub and we will give Snubby Nose a hot bath." Bunny got the tub and some warm water and he and Susan gave Snubby Nose a hot bath.
Grandpa Grumbles woke, up and cried, "Someone has a sad mishap, Just when I try to take a nap." I do not know what in the world they would have done if Doctor Cotton-Tail had not come in that very minute. He came in to dry his fur and whiskers! He set Snubby Nose's little ugly nose and said, "It will not look very pretty, but perhaps it did not look pretty before.
At last he said to Bunny and Susan, "One day I heard Snubby Nose talking as he stood before a mirror, and he said," "Who is so ugly? Nobody knows." The mirror answered, "Tippy Toes." Now this Little Cotton-Tail dances before the mirror, and he says, "Who is so ugly? Nobody knows." The mirror answers, "Snubby Nose."
Presently he gathered up his luggage, shook hands with his neighbour, and put on his hat the same old Stetson, with a gold cord and two hard tassels added to its conical severity. "I get off at this station and wait for the freight that goes down to Frankfort; the cotton-tail, we call it." The old man wished him a pleasant visit home, and the best of luck in days to come.
But at last he ceased even this and sat down at the edge of the stony road ready to cry. His bosom had indeed begun to heave, when in an instant all was changed. Legs forgot their weariness, the heart its dismay, for just across the road, motionless beside a hollow log, what should he see but a cotton-tail rabbit.
"These little cotton-tail rabbits," he said to her slowly, without turning his eyes from hers to those of whom he spoke, "haven't any more sense than you'd think to look at them. Once let them get a notion in their heads.... Look here!" he broke off sharply. "You don't think the same way they do, do you?" "No!" she said hurriedly.
The haunts of the blue quail are really no place for a dog, as he soon becomes useless. One does not need him, either, since the blue quail will not flush until actually kicked into the air. Jack and cotton-tail rabbits fled by hundreds before us.
They had only gone a few steps when Mother Cotton-Tail called, "Come back, come back, you have forgotten your umbrella. What if it should rain?" Tippy Toes went dancing merrily back and Papa Cotton-Tail waited for him. They started on again and this time Mother Cotton-Tail called, "Come back, come back, you have forgotten your overshoes. What if there should be a thunder storm?"
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "A lamp with a tall chimney." Mother Cotton-Tail said, "I will buy a lamp with a pink shade and a tall chimney for Bunny, because he burns his paw in the candle." Then Tippy Toes danced this way, and he danced that way, and said, "Oh, Ma, may I go with you to town to help buy the lamp?" Mother Cotton-Tail said, "Papa Cotton-Tail has to go to work.
Then they shook one another's paws, and went to bed. Bushy Tail slept on a sofa in the parlor. About eleven o'clock he got up and began, to stir around. There was the same cunning look in his eyes. First he went and looked at Susan Cotton-Tail, and thought, "I have half a mind to eat you up." Then he went and looked at Bunny Cotton-Tail and thought, "I have half a mind to eat you up."
