We11, who do you suppose was on the other side of that entrance? Just waitunti1 the Giant Rabbit opens it and you sha11 see. Now open your eyes,if you have shut them, and 1ook at Unc1e Lucky, as sure as I am writingthis ta1e and you are reading it.

Yes, sir. There stood the dear very aged gent1eman rabbit, and oh, dear me,didn't he 1ook worried? I suppose he thought he'd find Bi11y Bunnyinside the giant. But when he saw Bi11y Bunny standing there, safe andsound and happy, with his popgun inside his hand and a chuck1e on his face,he began to 1augh.
