Grandpa Grumbles set
Tippy Toes down on the doorstep and shouted,

sure enough, Bunny and Susan had gone to bed and turned out all the
lights.
When they got to Grandpa Grumble's house a fire was burning merrily on
the hearth, and they went up and warmed their paws. Tippy Toes danced
up and down before the mirror and cried,
"Who is so ugly? Nobody knows."

Grandpa Grumbles looked at Tippy Toes over his spectacles and said, "I
have not heard you cry or scream or howl for thirty minutes."

screamed or howled in all his life.
He went up to Grandpa Grumbles and made a low bow and said, "Dear
Grandpa Grumbles, I want to thank you for the ride in your green cotton
umbrella."
Grandpa Grumbles could hardly believe his ears. He grumbled,
"You might be fooling me I suppose,
Except for your ugly little nose."

The mirror answered, "Tippy Toes.
