"Heard it last night and the night before that and before that and before that and before that, and I don't know what it means!" "Don't know what what means?" asked Peter Rabbit, whose curiosity would not let him keep still. "Hello, Long-ears! I don't know that it's any of your business!" said Sticky-toes.
All at once the head of the greyhound whose great eyes had been wandering till then, with the aristocratic indifference characteristic of that animal became animated. She leaned her head over into the street; then, with a miraculous lightness and address, jumped on to the window-sill, pricking up her long-ears, and raising one of her paws.
Say, you sure take the cake, stepping out just to knock over a couple of long-ears; and then coming back ten minutes later with a fine antelope on your back. How did you do it, Bob?" "I don't know," laughed the other. "Happened to start up against the wind, and was creeping up behind some buffalo berry bushes to see if there were any jack rabbits beyond, when this little fellow jumped to his feet.
Hare, if you are both ready, please walk out and take your places on the platform." Then the monkey and the hare both hopped out, quickly and nimbly, to the wrestling platform. The deer, as umpire, stood between the two and called out: "Red-back! Red-back!" "Are you ready?" Then he turned to the hare: "Long-ears! Long-ears! are you ready?"
Chinese surnames, other than place names, are derived from a variety of sources: from nature, as River, Stone, Cave; from animals, as Bear, Sheep, Dragon; from birds, as Swallow, Pheasant; from the body, as Long-ears, Squint-eye; from colours, as Black, White; from trees and flowers, as Hawthorn, Leaf, Reed, Forest; and others, such as Rich, East, Sharp, Hope, Duke, Stern, Tepid, Money, etc.
He would smell where Bunny had been wandering and follow the track until he started Miss Long-ears from her covert, and then the fun began the rabbit leaping off in frightened haste, running for life, winding and dodging about over the swells of the sparse grass hillocks, while Ugly, mad with excitement, spread his long, low body down to the chase.
He mentioned two others: Speckled and Long-ears. Whichever would like her milk drawn off will answer to thy call, the shepherd answered, and the goat came running to him as if glad to hear her name. White-nose, isn't it?
While the monkey and the hare wrestled, the deer called out encouragingly or shouted warnings to each of them as the hare or the monkey pushed each other near the edge of the platform and were in danger of falling over. "Red-back! Red-back! stand your ground!" called out the deer. "Long-ears! Long-ears! be strong, be strong don't let the monkey beat you!" grunted the bear.
