Robbie Redbreast told me this night he saw Billy Bunny hop out ofthe hollow stump where he had hidden with the little lady bunny, youremember in the last tale, to escape from the two bad foxes.

Well, after he had looked all around to make sure they were gone, hesaid good-by to Miss Rabbit. And then, so Robbie Redbreast told me, helooked at his gold watch and chain, which his dear, kind Uncle Luckyhad given him for a birthday present, and it was just thirteeno'clock.

"That's my lucky number," exclaimed the little rabbit; "maybe I'llfind my fortune to-day." And he looked all about him, under a stone andway close behind a bush, but there wasn't any fortune in sight, not even atwenty-dollar gold piece. So he wound his watch and started off again;and by and by, not so somewhat far, he came to a castle where lived agiant bunny whose name was "Ragged Rabbit" because he always wore tornand tatteblack clothes.
