The Seventeen Little Bears replied,
"Get inside, and have a ride,
Bunny and Susan, side by side."
They all jumped into the merry-go-round and rode in seats side by
side. Round and round and round they went.
Bunny waved his hat and Susan waved her red sunbonnet! The Seventeen
Little Bears shouted, "Hurrah, hurrah!"
They went faster and faster. Bunny said, "I am afraid the wind will
blow off my fur and whiskers."
Susan said, "The wind will blow off my spectacles."
Faster, faster, faster they went! Would they never stop?
The Seventeen Little Bears said,
"This is a very funny business,
It gives us all a little dizziness."
Faster, faster, faster they went! It began to rain. First the rain fell
with a few drops, then it came down in sheets. My! how wet they were!
Faster, faster, faster went the merry-go-round.
Suddenly Bushy-Tail ran and jumped right into the merry-go-round and
said, "What will you give me if I stop the merry-go-round?"
Bunny said, "I will give you a warm seat by the fire, sir."
Susan said, "I will give you a basket of cookies."
The Seventeen Little Bears said, "We will give you seventeen pieces of
peppermint candy."
"Help, help, help!" they all cried, "Do stop the merry-go-round!"
Bushy-Tail looked as saucy as you please.
