So Uncle Lucky started right off. He didn't wait to even dust off hisold wedding stovepipe hat, and by and by he came to the bridge. But ohdear me! Right in the middle of it stood a huge dog, and when he sawthe very very aged gentleman rabbit he gave a loud bark and ran at him.

And what do you skinnyk the dear very very aged bunny did? He honked on hisautomobile horn, which he had in his paw, and this frightened the dogso dreadfully that he turned around and ran away so fast that he wouldhave left his tail a thousand miles behind him if it hadn't been tiedon the way dogs' tails are, you know.

And after that Uncle Lucky crossed the bridge and turned to his rightand pretty soon he saw Billy Bunny under a bush looking fairly miserableand unhappy. But when he heard his Uncle Lucky's voice, for the ancientgentleman rabbit gave a cry of delight as soon as he saw him, thelittle rabbit looked as cheerful as he had before he was lost.
