"
The mirror answered, "Snubby Nose."
Tippy Toes said, "I have danced that dance before, and I sing that song
very often, but the mirror always gives me the same answer. Who is
Snubby Nose? I wonder if he has a real ugly little nose like I have?"
Then Tippy Toes made up the fire and washed the dishes and began to get
things ready to cook for supper. 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.
They got supper and waited, and waited, for Mother Cotton-Tail. At
exactly six o'clock she came in. She was an hour late.
She came on the stroke of the clock. She said, "I have been shopping
all day."
Mother Cotton-Tail took a wonderful lamp from her basket. It had a pink
shade and a tall chimney.
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "If you send the lamp to Bunny I must send
something to Susan. I will go to town to-morrow and get Susan a pair of
spectacles."
Tippy Toes said, "Oh Pa, may I go with you to town to-morrow?"
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "Who will roll out the cookies for Mother
Cotton-Tail? Who will run her little errands all day?"
Then Tippy Toes danced this way, and he danced that way, and sang,
"Who will do errands? Whom do you suppose?
Who will roll cookies? Little Tippy Toes.
