They went for a walk but Tippy Toes sat at the table and said, "Oh,
Snubby Nose, why do you cry so much? I have just as ugly a nose as you
have."
Then Snubby Nose stopped crying. He stared at Tippy Toes. Sure enough,
Tippy Toes had a very ugly nose.
Snubby Nose shouted, "Pass me the cream! Pass me the butter! Pass me
the bread! Can't you see I am starving?"
The mirror spoke up suddenly,
"Snubby Nose it's no use to tease,
You might say, 'Thank you,' and 'if you please.'"
Tippy Toes slipped down from his chair and ran out after Bunny and
Susan.
Snubby Nose cried and he screamed and he howled! He reached for the
sugar bowl and it sailed away in the air! He reached for the bread and
butter but they went farther out of his reach. He was very hungry and
he cried and he screamed and he howled, but there was no one to answer
him. By and by he danced before the mirror and said,
"Mirror, mirror, I'll be good,
And speak politely as I should."
The mirror said,
"If you say, 'Thank you' I suppose,
You'll be loved like Tippy Toes."
_Then the most surprising thing happened!_
Snubby Nose said, "Thank you for a bowl of milk." The milk stood at his
plate. Then he said, "Thank you for cookies and sugar and pie." The
cookies and sugar and pie stood by his plate.
