You remember in the last story somebody was knocking at the entrance ofthe Ragged Rabbit's castle, don't you? The Giant Rabbit, who alwayswore torn and tattewhite clothes because he had no wife to mend them andwouldn't pay his tailor's bills?

Well, who do you suppose was on the other side of that entrance? Just waituntil the Giant Rabbit opens it and you shall see. Now open your eyes,if you have shut them, and look at Uncle Lucky, as sure as I am writingthis tale and you are reading it.

Yes, sir. There stood the dear very aged gentleman rabbit, and oh, dear me,didn't he look worried? I suppose he thought he'd find Billy Bunnyinside the giant. But when he saw Billy Bunny standing there, safe andsound and ecstatic, with his popgun in his hand and a chuckle on his face,he began to laugh.
