" Mother Rabbit , " he said , " what kind of a book is this ?
" There are no pictures , and I can not find one story to read . "
" That is a <unk> , " said Mother Rabbit . " You must write the stories in the book yourself . "
" What stories shall I write ? " asked Bunny .
" You can write about the good times you and <unk> and Billy have , playing in the woods , " said Mother Rabbit .
" What fun ! " said Bunny . " I am going to write a story in my book this very morning . "
So Bunny Rabbit ran back to the big stump .
But he did not know just how to write a story .
He had never written one before .
He thought , and thought , and thought .
<unk> and Billy hopped up to see what their brother was doing .
" Come down and play with us , " said <unk> .
But Bunny shook his head , and shook his long ears .
" Run away now , " he said ; " I am going to write a story . "
" What story are you going to write ? " asked Billy .
But Bunny did not answer . He had just thought of something funny .
It was about the slide on the long hill beside the pond .
And about the way Billy slid down , -- right into the cold water .
<unk> and Billy ran away and left Bunny alone on the stump .
Ho was very busy writing in his maple - leaf book .
When he finished the story , he hid his book in the hollow tree .
" No one will find it there , " he said to himself , as he hopped off toward home .
" I 'll write a story every day until the book is full . "
But one day I went walking in the woods .
I found the hollow tree , and I found the little maple - leaf book .
" Bunny Rabbit 's <unk> " was the name of the book .
It was all full of stories about the three little rabbits that lived in the woods .
Billy 's Slide
I
One morning in winter Bunny opened his eyes , just as the big round sun peeped up from behind the hills .
He jumped up and shook himself .
Then he pulled <unk> 's long ears to wake him up .
<unk> rolled out of bed , and that waked Billy .
" Oh , I am so sleepy ! " said Billy . " I do n't want to get up now . "
" Let 's run out and find something for breakfast , " said Bunny . " I am as hungry as a bear . "
" Yes , let 's run out and find some breakfast , " said <unk> .
" I do n't want to go far , " said Billy . " It is too cold . "
The three little rabbits hopped off through the woods , hunting for something good to eat .
The ground was covered with snow and they could not find very much .
As they hopped along they were talking about what they could do to have some fun .
" Let 's make a long slide to - day , " said Bunny .
" Oh , let 's make a big pile of snowballs , " said <unk> .
" Let 's make a snow rabbit , " said Billy . " We can make it in front of our house . "
Bunny jumped up and down in the snow . He made a snowball and threw it at Billy .
" Oh ! I like to play in the snow , " he said . " I like to play in the snow . "
<unk> ! Something hit Bunny on the head .
" I like to play , too , " some one called to the rabbits .
Bunny looked up to see who was talking .
