Bunny Boy
Bunny Boy was a white rabbit. He was a happy rabbit. Bunny Boy liked to play with Anny 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 Anny. “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 Anny 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 Anny. “It is a rabbit.” “But it is not Bunny Boy,” said Ned. “It is not a white rabbit.” Just when 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 Anny, “how did you get so black?” Ned said, “I can guess.” Anny said, “I can guess, too.”

Bunny Plays a Trick
Bunny Rabbit lived in a big hole under a tree. He lived with his mother. One day Bunny said, “Now I am a big rabbit. I must have my own home.” Mother Rabbit said,” Yes, Bunny. You are a big rabbit now. You can make your own home. You can make it over there under that big tree.” Bunny Rabbit began to dig. Soon he had made a big hole for his new home. It had a front door and a back door. Bunny could go in the front door and come out the back door. He could go in the back door and come out the front door. “Now I have my own home,” he said. One fine morning Bunny Rabbit sat in his own front door. He said, “I must get some dinner. I am as hungry as I can be.” So he went down the road to find something to eat. Hop, hop, hop he went. All at once he saw a big dog. “Oh, dear!” said Bunny. “Here comes a big dog! I must run home.” Away ran Bunny Rabbit. Away ran the big dog after him. Soon Bunny was at his front door. “I will play a trick on that dog,” he thought. In he went, hop, hop, hop! The dog began to dig at the door. But the Bunny ran out the back door, and the dog did not find him. “What a good trick!” said Bunny.
