"
So, they had a merry time at supper that evening and lighted the new
lamp, and Papa Cotton-Tail read fairy tales.
Tippy Toes did not tell what the mirror had answered him. He kept that
as a secret. He said to himself, "I do wonder _who_ Snubby Nose
is!"
CHAPTER III
Next day Tippy Toes woke up early and cried out, "Oh, Mother
Cotton-Tail, it is time to wake up! Oh, Papa Cotton-Tail, it is time to
wake up!"
Sure enough it was time for Bunnies to wake up because it was sunrise.
Tippy Toes helped to get breakfast. He went to the well to draw water.
He began to sing a little fairy song,
"Ding, dong bell,
Pussy's in the well."
"Poor Pussy, I wonder if she is still in the well," he said. He peeped
down to look into the well.
Papa Cotton-Tail called, "Hurry, hurry, it is time for breakfast."
Then Tippy Toes drew a bucket full of water and said, "Is poor Pussy
still in the well?"
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "If you ever read your Mother Goose you would
know she is not in the well."
"Who pulled her out?" asked Tippy Toes.
Mother Cotton-Tail said, "Hush, be still, you ask too many questions!"
Tippy Toes wondered all day who pulled poor Pussy out. He danced this
way, and he danced that way, and he set the table for breakfast.
He said, "If you are home by dinner time Papa Cotton-Tail, may I go and
visit Bunny and Susan?"
Papa Cotton-Tail said, "If I get home in time with Susan's spectacles
you may go to-day.
