"Come, sir, why don't you cry any
more?"
Tippy Toes danced this way, and danced that way, and sang to the big
mirror that hung on the wall,
"Who is so ugly? Nobody knows."
The mirror answered, "Snubby Nose."
CHAPTER V
"My fur and whiskers, the room is all clean!" Bunny Cotton-Tail cried.
Susan Cotton-Tail cried, "Bless my buttons, everything is in order."
Grandpa Grumbles said,
"There is a mystery in the air,
There is something strange, I do declare."
Tippy Toes cried, "Good night Bunny and Susan, good night dear Grandpa
Grumbles," and he danced this way, and danced that way, and he danced
himself right up to bed.
"How polite he is," said Bunny Cotton-Tail. Susan said, "He does not
seem to mind when we speak of noses!"
Grandpa Grumbles said, "He does not cry any more."
They all sat by the fire warming their paws. Grandpa Grumbles was
thinking. At last he said to Bunny and Susan, "One day I heard Snubby
Nose talking as he stood before a mirror, and he said,"
"Who is so ugly? Nobody knows."
The mirror answered, "Tippy Toes."
Now this Little Cotton-Tail dances before the mirror, and he says,
"Who is so ugly? Nobody knows."
The mirror answers, "Snubby Nose."
"Snubby Nose, Tippy Toes," repeated Bunny and Susan over and over as
they warmed their paws by the fire.
