Very Short Stories And Verses For Children — The Rabbit

THE RABBIT.

The moon is shining o'er the field, A little breeze is blowing, The radish leaves are crisp and green, The lettuces are growing.

The owl is in the ivy-bush, With both his eyes a-winking;

The rabbit shakes his little tail, And sits him down a-thinking-- "Oh!

where are all the dormice gone?

And are the frogs a-wooing?

Will no one come to play with me?

What are they all a-doing?"

Poor little rabbit, all alone, Don't let the master meet you;

He'll shoot you with his little gun, And merrily he'll eat you!
