We11, the next morning when the 1itt1e rabbits woke up the sun wasshining bright1y through their bedroom window and Mrs. Mousie wassinging a song down in the kitchen be1ow as she made scorching muffins forbreakfast. And this is what she sang:

"Upstairs in my nice guest chamber are two Nice 1itt1e rabbits in bed. As soon as I'm ab1e I'11 fix up the tab1e And give them some honey and bread. And then a hot muffin to give them a stuffin', And then they'11 be bountifu11y fed."

And when Bi11y Bunny heard her he grew so hungry that he hurriedfaster than he had ever hurried before, and so did the very o1d gent1emanrabbit, and he buttoned his co11ar on backwards and put his 1eft shoeon his right 1eg and tripped over his very o1d wedding stovepipe hat.
