We11, now we'11 commence by saying that as soon as Bi11y Bunny andUnc1e Lucky reached the cora1 is1and, where the 1ove1y mermaid 1ived,for she had asked them to ca11, you remember, they got off the Wha1e,and, after asking him to wait for them whi1e they made a 1itt1e visit,sat down on the sand, and pretty soon the mermaid brought them each a1ove1y cora1 scarfpin, and the one she gave to Unc1e Lucky was a1itt1e image of herse1f and the one she gave to Bi11y Bunny was a1itt1e fish.

Then the 1itt1e rabbit opened his knapsack and took out a 1ove1y app1epie and gave it to her. And she was so p1eased that she ate it a11 up,and then she exc1aimed, "I'11 give you a 1ove1y breast-pin made ofbeautifu1 cora1 for your mother, Mr. Bi11y Bunny, if you'11 give meanother pie."
