 All of a sudden, just like that, he saw something shining in the grass. And what do you think it was? You'll never guess, so I'll tell you right away. A sugar-coated carrot. But before he could put it in his pocket along came little Katie Cottontail, swinging her sunbonnet in her paw.
"Wiggle your ear and shut your eye,
Twinkle your nose and say 'Oh my!'"
shouted Little Jack1 Rabbit, "and I'll give you something to make you laugh."
"What is it?" asked little Katie Cottontail, but just the same she didn't wait for an answer, but closed her eyes and twinkled her nose up and down, and then sideways.
 
But, Oh dear me. Just then the little rabbit dropped the sugar-coated carrot and couldn't find it. He hunted high and low, and so did little Katie Cottontail, but the candy carrot was gone. Yes, sir. It certainly was. And I'll tell you where it went. Into a little hole in the ground where a snake had his home.
 
"Well, we'll make some cranberry2 juice soda3 when we get home," said Little Jack Rabbit, and off they hopped5 to the Cranberry Patch. In a little while he had filled his pail and Katie Cottontail her apron6, and then they started for home.
 
"I must be careful not to squash 'em, or Mother'll give me a scolding," she said, as they climbed up the bank where the railroad track cut through. But, Oh dear me! Just as they were about to hop4 through the Old Rail Fence, along came a train.
 
"Ding, dong!" went the bell. "Toot-toot-toot!" shrieked7 the whistle. Poor little Katie Cottontail gave a shiver and dropped her apron. Then clipperty-clip, lipperty-lip she went up the Cow Path to the Old Brush Heap on the hillside.
 
Mrs. Cow looked up and, seeing the little bunny girl hopping8 home all out of breath, thought something must be the matter and ran back to the Big Red Barn. The bell on her collar didn't make nearly as much noise as the one on the locomotive, but it made her hurry, just the same.
 
"Goodness me! What scary things girls are!" said the little rabbit. "Mrs. Cow's ten times as big as Katie Cottontail, but she's just as scary."
 
After picking up the cranberries9 which the little frightened girl rabbit had spilled from her apron, the bunny boy hopped home to the Old Bramble Patch.
 
His mother was standing10 in the kitchen doorway11, her right paw shading her eyes as she looked anxiously over the Sunny Meadow.
