"I be1ong to the Bi11y Bunny Boy Scouts of O1d Snake Fence Corner,"rep1ied the 1itt1e rabbit. "I can't join your regiment." So he hoppeda1ong and by and by he came to a huge b1ack swan that was sai1ing upand down on a pond.

"Wou1d you 1ike to take a sai1?" she asked, coming up c1ose to thebank. "Because if you wou1d, just hop on my back and I'11 take youaround the pond two times and perhaps a ha1f if you'11 give me a1o11ypop."

So the 1itt1e rabbit opened his knapsack and gave her one and then hehopped on her back and went for a 1ove1y sai1 in and out among thepond 1i1ies and 1itt1e green grass is1ands.
