      TIME TO RUN AWAY

      Table of Contents

      The Runaway Rabbit has formed the habit

      Of running away, I see.

      Oh, Runaway Rabbit, please form the habit

      Of staying awhile with me.

      The Runaway Rabbit sat on the doorstep of his own little house, saying, By my cottontail, it is time for me to run away!

      He took out his little brown traveling bag and packed it full.

      Packed it full

      He was in such a hurry to run away that he did not even stop to clear off his breakfast table. He did not even stop to wind his clock or lock his front door!

      Hippety-hop, lippety-lop, he went down the path, carrying his little brown traveling bag.

      Where are you going? asked the Whistling Wind.

      Where are you going? asked the Smiling Sun.

      To them both, the Runaway Bunny replied:

      "Oho! I’m happy to have such fun;

      It’s such a pleasure to run and run!"

      He did not tell anyone where he was going. Many years ago he had made up his mind that some day he would run away and visit his grandparents.

      Now wasn’t it funny? At this very minute Old Mother Bun was saying:

      "My old legs get so stiff; it’s funny!

      I wish I had a little Bunny!"

      She wanted a little Bunny to travel up and down the cellar stairs for her.

      At this very minute Old Father Bun was saying:

      "I would pay a mint of money

      If I had a visiting Bunny!"

      He wanted a little Rabbit to bring in wood and water.

      Took out her field glasses

      Suddenly, without any warning whatever, Old Mother Bun took out her field glasses. And as she looked out of the window she remarked, "I think I see a little figure away over in the field coming
