Papa Cotton-Tail put on his big fur coat and went merrily down the
road. 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.

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."
Papa Cotton-Tail put on the black spectacles and he looked so funny
that Mother Cotton-Tail said, "Let me try them on," and Tippy Toes
cried, "Please let me try them on!"
Mother Cotton-Tail said, "I will pack Bunny's lamp and Susan's
spectacles and you may start on your long journey at once."
Tippy Toes put on his best coat and cap and kissed his mother good-bye.
Papa Cotton-Tail went with him again to the bend of the road. Suddenly
Tippy Toes stopped still. He stopped stock-still in the road. He said,
"Oh, Pa, I must go back, I forgot something!"

He always danced up and down before the mirror before he went out. So,
he went back home, hoppity, skippity, hop; and Papa Cotton-Tail waited
for him at the bend of the road.
Tippy Toes stood before the mirror and he danced this way and he danced
that way and said,
"Who is so ugly? Nobody knows.
