But the 0ld Clothes Man couldn't smoke it at all, although he triedthe best he could, and beautiful soon it began to rain and the chocolatebecame soft and sticky, and the little Bunny all wet, so he said: "Iguess I'll crawl into a hollow stump if I can find one."

And it didn't take him long, for he hopped away to the woods nearby,and the first thing he saw was an aged stump, so he hopped inside. Andno sooner was he safely out of the rain than a voice exclaimed:

"What are you doing in my hollow stump; Who are you anyway? Why didn't you knock on this aged wood block If you really want to stay?"
