"That's my lucky number," exclaimed Billy Bunny. And then the crow exclaimed ina mournful voice:

"It's mine, too, and I just hate to give it up."

"Well, if you can get me another number, I don't care if you keep it,"said the little rabbit. And then what do you think that crow did? Why,he got a nice smooth little chip and made a lovely number 3 on it witha yellow pencil and handed it to the little rabbit.
