Bunny Boy

Bunny(兔子，兒童用語) Boy was a white rabbit.

He was a happy rabbit.

Bunny Boy liked to play with Jane and Ned.

He liked to play with Spot, the cat, and Jack, the dog.

They all liked Bunny Boy.

What fun they had!

One day Bunny Boy was playing in the yard with Spot and Jack.

Bunny found a big dark hole under the house.

"What a big hole!" he said.

"I will hide in it.

Spot and Jack can not find me."

So Bunny jumped into the hole.

Down, down, down he fell.

"Oh, oh!" said Bunny Boy.

"How black it is down here!

I am all black, too."

"Where is Bunny Boy?" said Ned.

"Where is Bunny Boy?" said Jane.

"Oh, dear! Where can he be?"

They looked and looked for him.

They looked in the house and in the yard.

They looked up and down the street.

Mother and Father looked.

Spot and Jack looked.

But no one could find Bunny Boy.

Then Mother said, "We must go to dinner now."

They all went into the house, but Jane and Ned were not happy.

They did not want any dinner.

They wanted their rabbit.

All at once Jack said, "Bow-wow!"

Then he ran to the door.

Spot ran to the door, too.

Something was there.

What was it?

Father ran and opened the door.

There sat a rabbit.

"Oh, look!" said Jane.

"It is a rabbit."

"But it is not Bunny Boy," said Ned.

"It is not a white rabbit."

Just then the rabbit saw Spot.

Hop, hop, hop it went to her.

Guess what Spot did.

"Oh, oh!" said Ned. "Look at Spot!

She is washing the rabbit.

She is washing the black away.

It is a white rabbit.

It is Bunny Boy!"

Then they all laughed.

"Oh, Bunny Boy," said Jane, "How did you get so black?"

Ned said, "I can guess."

Jane said, "I can guess, too."
