And then Billy Bunny knew it was time to be going. So he gave one gigantichop and maybe two million and a half little skips and jumps, and soonhe was far away, and if he hadn't maybe that little boy would have puthim in a cage or a gigantic box and kept him shut up for a long time.

"Goodness!" exclaimed the little rabbit, "I must be more careful nexttime." And then something happened. A little hard ball hit him on theleft hind foot, and a man's voice called out, "If it hadn't been forthat pesky little rabbit I would have made that hole."

And the gigantic man put his golf stick in the bag and watched Billy Bunnylimp away to hide in the woods close by.
