Grandpa Grumbles thought it was Snubby Nose, of course, and he shouted, "You're a careless Bunny, it is not funny, The Doctor costs us a lot of money." Then whisk! Before Tippy Toes or Doctor Cotton-Tail could say a word, Grandpa Grumbles opened his green cotton umbrella and set Tippy Toes inside and carried him through the woods. The wind whistled in their ears as they went.
"At night I always shake my head, 'Tis time for all to go to bed." The Cotton-Tail family knew that it was no use to tease, so they went merrily to bed. Snubby Nose set his little alarm clock. He set it at four o'clock in the morning. He said, kissing Tippy Toes good night, "We must get up early in the morning and make a garden for Bunny and Susan."
This time Papa Cotton-Tail went back with Tippy Toes and he said, "Dear Mother Cotton-Tail, do put on your thinking-cap and see if we have forgotten anything else, or we shall never get off." Then they looked high and low, but they could not find Mother Cotton-Tail's thinking-cap! Papa Cotton-Tail said, "Never mind, I will put on my thinking-cap instead."
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "You have read about Susan's cookies!" Tippy Toes said, "Please, may I go and visit Bunny and Susan?" Tippy Toes was a homely little Bunny. He had a very ugly little nose, but he was polite. He always said, "Thank you," and, "If you please." Mother Cotton-Tail said, "You may go and pay a visit to Bunny and Susan. Go and pack your traveling bag at once."
She stood looking out into the hazy sunlight which lay warm on hill and coulee. "I think I'll go up above the grade and make a sketch of the ranch," she said to the Countess, and hastily collected her materials. Down by the creek a "cotton-tail" sprang out of her way and kicked itself out of sight beneath a bowlder. The Little Doctor stood and watched till he disappeared, before going on again.
There was going to be a fair, and Susan had been asked to make pies for it. All the animals were going to the fair. "We cannot go when we have no pies to sell," said Susan. "All the animals will come to find out why we are not there," said Bunny. Now Bunny Cotton-Tail was a very clever rabbit, even though he was getting old. He put on his overcoat and took a card and a hammer, and went out.
So he put on his red silk thinking-cap and said, "Oh, I know what we have forgotten; we have forgotten to send Bunny and Susan a present!" "To be sure," said Mother Cotton-Tail, "Now what shall the present be?" Little Tippy Toes did not get started on his journey that day, for it took four days and fourteen hours for them to decide what to send Bunny and Susan.
I heard they fell in the water!" The Seventeen Little Bears stuffed their little paws into their mouths to keep from laughing, for they felt as well as ever, sitting before the fire in their little red wrappers. Doctor Cotton-Tail took a seat by the fire and began to warm his paws, first one paw and then the other. "Chilly spring weather, but most time to make garden," he said.
A wondering little "cotton-tail" rabbit, shy and wild as a hawk, came darting through the bushes into the sunshiny patchwork on the path, and then, uptilted and with quivering ears and nostrils and wide-staring eyes, stood paralyzed with helpless amaze, ignoring the tall man in gray as did the singer herself.
Mother Cotton-Tail began to make cookies and Tippy Toes rolled them out for her. Now, will you believe it? before they had a single pan of cookies baked, Papa Cotton-Tail was back home again. Mother Cotton-Tail said, "Why are you back so soon?" Tippy Toes said, "Did you get the spectacles already?" Papa Cotton-Tail said, "I met a peddler and he had a pair of black spectacles in his pack."
