-CHAPTER I
-
-
-If little Bunny Cotton-Tail had not read by candle-light, this story
-might never have been written.
-
-One evening Bunny Cotton-Tail read very late, and he was so excited
-over the story he was reading that he waved one paw too near the
-candle, and burned it sadly. Poor Bunny cried so loud that all the
-neighbors heard him, and came running in to see what was the matter.
-Have you ever cried so loud that you could be heard next door?
-
-Mother Cotton-Tail tied up the burned paw in a cabbage leaf and sent
-Bunny to bed. And what do you suppose that comical Bunny did? He liked
-the smell of the cabbage so well, that he ate the leaf all up, and his
-poor paw began to hurt worse than ever.
-
-This time he did not cry, for he was afraid he would be scolded for
-eating the cabbage leaf. He crept out of bed and ran out of the house.
-
-Mother Cotton-Tail never allowed little Bunny to go out late at night,
-so now everything seemed very strange to him. He looked at the big
-moon, and he was afraid. He ran on for some time and he came to a
-beautiful garden.
-
-Here he saw more cabbages than he had ever dreamed of! There were big
-cabbages, little cabbages, and middle-sized cabbages. He was just going
-to have a nice meal when he looked up and saw a very tall creature
-waving its arms at him.
-
-Poor little Bunny was sadly frightened. He did not know that this big
-thing was only a scare-crow. He had never seen a scare-crow before, in
-all his life. But he had seen men, and his mother had told him that men
-did not like rabbits. Bunny thought the scare-crow was a man, and he
-quickly crept close to a big cabbage, to hide, and lay quite still for
-a while.
-
-Every now and then Bunny peeped out from among the cabbage leaves, and
-there that awful creature and the moon were, always staring at him!
-
-By and by, he decided to run home, and he started off as fast as his
-little legs would carry him. But the moonlight made him dizzy, and he
-took the wrong road.
-
-When daylight came, poor little Bunny Cotton-Tail was far from home,
-and soon a hunter came that way, and caught him. The hunter put Bunny
-in his bag and took him home for his little boy to play with. The
-little boy’s name was Harold. When his papa came in with Bunny, Harold
-clapped his hands for joy. Then the whole family gathered around and
-made remarks about poor Bunny.
-
-“Why are his ears so long?” Harold asked.
-
-“To keep the flies off,” answered Uncle Jack.
-
-“He must have left his tail at home,” said big brother.
-
-“He looks scared. We must build him a house,” said papa.
-
-So they all went to work and made a nice house for Bunny, and big
-brother brought him a large leaf of cabbage to eat.
-
-Two big tears rolled down poor Bunny’s face, for the cabbage made him
-think of his fright in the garden, and his sore paw, and how he had
-left home.
-
-Then Harold took Bunny in his arms and hugged him, and that made the
-poor little rabbit feel better, and he fell asleep.
-
-When Harold put Bunny back in his box, he forgot to shut the door. He
-never thought that in the morning his new pet might be gone.
-
-[Illustration:

- Some one is sure to bring him home.
- So Bunny should be good, I say,
- And not go out and run away.]
-
-
-
-
-CHAPTER II
-
-
-Late that night Bunny Cotton-Tail made up his mind to run away. So he
-crept out of his little house, and through a hole in the back fence,
-and was off. The great moon was staring down at him, and he was very
-much afraid of the moon, but he could not go very fast, for his paw
-still hurt him and he limped sadly.
-
-After a while he sat down on a log to rest, and whom did he see coming
-down the road with a wheel-barrow but Mother Cotton-Tail? She had been
-searching all night and all day for Bunny.
-
-When Bunny saw his mother he clapped his paws together so hard that he
-hurt his sore one, and he cried: “Oh, ma, oh, ma!”
-
-Mother Cotton-Tail did not waste any words, for Mr. Fox is out in the
-woods at night. She just tumbled Bunny into that old wheel-barrow, and
-whisk! they went down the road; while the big moon laughed and made a
-face at them.
-
-When they got home all the rabbits in the neighborhood stood around the
-front gate, and they all cried: “Hurrah! welcome home, Bunny!”
-
-Bunny was so ashamed that he hung his head and waved his sore paw
-feebly. Then his mother took him into the house and put him to bed.
-
-Poor Bunny was so shaken up by the ride in that wheel-barrow that he
-did not sleep very well, and next day he had to stay at home with his
-mother while all the other rabbits went to a pic-nic.
-
-After supper, when he was sitting up in a big arm-chair by the window,
-whom should he see coming slowly up the road but his dear friend Susan
-Cotton-Tail? Susan Cotton-Tail walked slowly because she was very
-tired. The rabbits had tramped miles and miles on that pic-nic.
-
-Susan Cotton-Tail carried something on her arm. At first Bunny thought
-it was a bag, and then he saw it was a basket. What do you suppose
-Susan Cotton-Tail had in that basket? She had some nice things that she
-had saved for Bunny, from the pic-nic.
-
-When Susan saw Bunny sitting by the window, she did not stop to go
-around to the front door, as her mother had trained her to do. She
-jumped right in through the window, and took a seat on the arm of
-Bunny’s chair.
-
-Have you ever had to stay at home from a pic-nic when all the other
-children went? And did you have a dear friend who brought you some of
-the good things to eat? If so, you know just how Bunny felt.
-
-Susan Cotton-Tail had sandwiches in that basket, and cabbage leaves and
-radishes, and little cookies cut in the shape of a rabbit. (One of the
-mother rabbits had made these for a joke.)
-
-After a nice visit Susan said she must go home.
-
-Susan wanted to go and pick berries next day. Bunny asked his mother if
-he might go too, and she said he might, if he would try to be a good
-little rabbit after this. Bunny promised, and then he went with Susan
-to the gate.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- As Mr. Bunny Cotton-Tail
- Went walking down the street,
- It was his great good fortune
- Susan Cotton-Tail to meet.
-
- Said Susan, “My dear Bunny,
- If you would only try
- To open wide your parasol,
- Your fur would keep quite dry!”]
-
-
-
-
-CHAPTER III
-
-
-The next day, when Bunny Cotton-Tail woke up, he heard the rain
-pattering against the window panes. He cried so loud, and his tears
-fell so fast, that his little brother thought the roof was leaking!
-
-Mother Cotton-Tail said it would do no good to cry about the rain, and
-she went to the closet and brought out a beautiful new silk umbrella.
-She had bought it for a birthday present for Bunny, but she hated to
-see Bunny unhappy, so she said he might go out in the rain so as to use
-it.
-
-Now, Bunny was not a very careful little rabbit, so he did not wait
-to learn how to open it, but ran out of the house and down the road
-with the umbrella in his paw. That is the reason you see him so in the
-picture. He ran fast, because he wanted to show Susan his new present.
-
-Now, wasn’t it odd that on that very same morning Susan Cotton-Tail
-cried when she saw the rain, and that her mother gave her a beautiful
-new umbrella? But Susan was a careful rabbit, and learned how to open
-and use the umbrella before she went out.
-
-Susan had left her basket at Bunny’s house the night before, so her
-mother said she might go after it. That is the way the two rabbits
-happened to meet.
-
-Bunny was delighted when Susan showed him how to open his umbrella,
-and they stood there some time, talking in the rain. Of course it was
-too wet to go for berries, but they wanted to have some fun, so they
-decided to go to Bunny’s house and blow soap-bubbles.
-
-On the way home they passed a nice garden. Farmer Jones was out working
-in it that morning. Bunny wished very much for a bite of cabbage, so he
-begged Susan to come and hide behind the raspberry bushes, so that they
-could nibble something while Farmer Jones was not looking. Now Susan
-was a good little rabbit, and she knew that to steal is very wrong, so
-she said, “No.”
-
-Then Susan and Bunny went on to Bunny’s house, and here they blew
-soap-bubbles all the morning.
-
-[Illustration:

- Little Bunny Cotton-Tail
- Should not try to roam
- In Farmer Jones’s cabbage-patch;
- He ought to stay at home.]
-
-
-
-
-CHAPTER IV
-
-
-Next day, Bunny went over to Susan’s house and found Susan’s mother
-crying, and what do you suppose had happened? Why, Susan Cotton-Tail
-had not come home, and her mother was afraid she might be lost.
-
-When Bunny heard the news, he cried into a little red handkerchief that
-he had wrapped around his sore paw, and he said he wished to die if
-Susan Cotton-Tail could not be found!
-
-Now Bunny knew that old Farmer Jones hated the sight of even his little
-stubby tail, so he thought the quickest way for him to die would be to
-run over into the farmer’s garden.
-
-He told Susan’s mother good-by, waved his sore paw feebly, and set
-out for the garden. He thought that if he must die he would eat some
-cabbage first, and he was nibbling away when he heard some one whisper
-his name very softly.
-
-At first he thought it was Marie, Farmer Jones’s little girl, so he
-curled right up close beside a cabbage, and did not say a word. He
-peeped around the cabbage, and he could see Farmer Jones’s blue shirt,
-and once in a while he could hear him whistle.
-
-Then he heard a soft little voice say: “Bunny, Bunny, Bunny.” He
-looked over by the raspberry bushes, and what do you suppose he saw?
-There was Susan Cotton-Tail, caught in a trap!
-
-When Bunny saw Susan he forgot all about Farmer Jones, and he gave a
-loud squeal, just the same kind of a squeal he gave when he burned his
-paw. Farmer Jones came running, and cried: “Ah, ha! I have caught the
-rabbit at last!”
-
-Bunny had just time to jump into a flower pot, and Farmer Jones found
-poor Susan in the trap.
-
-“Now,” said Farmer Jones, “I have caught the naughty rabbit that eats
-my cabbages, and I have a great mind to kill it!”
-
-But he did not kill Susan--oh, my, no--for she just blinked her eyes
-and smiled at him. She was not the least bit afraid; and why should she
-have been, when she had never stolen anything from Farmer Jones in her
-life?
-
-Just then Marie came running out into the garden, and Farmer Jones said:
-
-“See, Marie, I have caught the naughty rabbit that has been eating my
-cabbages, and she looks as though she had never done anything wrong in
-her life.”
-
-“Oh, the sweet little thing!” cried Marie. “Let me have her for a pet,
-and I will put a pretty blue ribbon around her neck.”
-
-So Marie took Susan up in her little apron and carried her, very gently
-and carefully, into the house. She made room for the little rabbit in
-her doll’s bed, and there Susan fell asleep.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- Little Bunny Cotton-Tail,
- Is running home, you see,
- And Miss Susan Cotton-Tail
- Keeps him company.]
-
-
-
-
-CHAPTER V
-
-
-What did Bunny Cotton-Tail do then, do you suppose? He felt so sorry
-about Susan that he cried nearly all day, and he was so afraid of
-Farmer Jones now, that he did not dare to come out of the flower pot!
-The flower pot had rolled over on one side, so he was quite hidden.
-
-Now it happened that Marie had a nice flower-bed in front of the house,
-and a friend had given her a new plant to set out. So she began to look
-for a flower pot to cover it. Of course, you can guess what happened.
-Marie found Bunny Cotton-Tail, the flower pot and all! “Oh, papa, here
-is another bunny! They must be twins,” she cried.
-
-Farmer Jones came up, and when he saw how scared poor little Bunny
-looked, he laughed. He said if they put the two rabbits together, they
-could soon tell whether they knew each other or not. So Marie carried
-Bunny into the house.
-
-Susan Cotton-Tail had fallen asleep in the doll’s bed, so Marie slipped
-Bunny in beside her, and he pretended to go to sleep, too. Farmer
-Jones said this proved that they knew each other; for if they had been
-strange rabbits, they would have fought.
-
-Night came on, and the big clock in the hall struck twelve, and Susan
-woke up. She was so delighted to find Bunny beside her, that she almost
-screamed for joy, but Bunny put one little soft paw over her mouth, for
-he was afraid she would waken some one, and he was already planning how
-they could get away from Farmer Jones’s house.
-
-He told Susan that he had heard the cook say she would leave the pantry
-window open to keep her preserves cool, so, if they could only find the
-pantry, they might escape.
-
-Susan listened so eagerly that her ears flopped on the side of the
-doll’s bed as though she were keeping time to a tune.
-
-Bunny stole out of bed, and began to search for the pantry. He told
-Susan to wait until he came back for her.
-
-The moon was not shining, and it was very dark. Bunny felt his way
-along carefully, till he came to the sitting-room. Here he saw a big
-black box, beside a window, and it looked to him as though the window
-were open. Up he jumped on the box, to make sure, and crash! he fell
-on something that played a tune! The quicker he ran up and down, the
-louder the tune was, and the louder the tune was, the more scared Bunny
-was, and the more he ran up and down.
-
-Farmer Jones waked up and could not think what all the noise meant.
-He jumped out of bed and ran down stairs two steps at a time, with a
-candle in his hand. He found Bunny dancing about on the piano keys, and
-he laughed till he cried.
-
-Then he called the whole family down stairs to see the strange sight.
-Everybody laughed and petted Bunny, and the more they laughed, the more
-scared he was, until he saw Susan peeping around a curtain at him.
-
-Then he gave one bound for the open window. Susan followed him, quick
-as a flash, and whisk! the two frightened little rabbits were racing
-away down the road before one of the family could say, “Jack Robinson.”
-
-What Farmer Jones and the family thought about it I cannot say, but I
-can tell you that Susan and Bunny were very careful never to go into
-his garden again.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- Little Bunny Cotton-Tail
- Should have gone to school to-day.
- He cried so hard he could not see,
- And went the other way!]
-
-
-
-
-CHAPTER VI
-
-
-When Susan’s mother saw Susan, she laughed and she cried. Then she put
-Susan to bed, and there the poor little rabbit stayed for a week, and
-then it was time for school to begin.
-
-When Bunny’s mother saw him, she switched him with a little maple
-switch, and sat him up in the corner until he told the whole story.
-
-Bunny ran away so much, you see, that his mother was quite used to it,
-while Susan was a good rabbit and had never before run away from home.
-
-The week passed, and then Bunny’s mother said Bunny must go to school.
-For rabbits have to go to school if they want to learn anything, of
-course!
-
-So she put up a nice little lunch for Bunny, and gave his coat an extra
-brush. She brushed him so hard that he cried a little, and went down
-the road with his dinner pail on his arm, brushing the tears away with
-his sore paw!
-
-Bunny never did like to go to school very well, so when he stopped
-crying, and found that he had taken the wrong road and was going into
-the woods, he was not sorry at all.
-
-He went on a little way and saw some squirrels. They seemed to be
-having a very good time, and Bunny sat down to watch them at their
-play. Then he opened his basket and began to eat his lunch, for he was
-always hungry.
-
-He was so tired then, after his long tramp, that he fell asleep, and he
-never opened his eyes until he heard a soft “tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.”
-He opened his eyes, and there stood Susan Cotton-Tail, smiling at him.
-
-Bunny did not know where he was, at first, but he rubbed his eyes
-hard, and then he asked Susan where she had got the dear little bell
-that hung around her neck. Susan said it was a reward given her by her
-teacher for good behavior. Then Bunny was sorry that he had not gone
-to school, for he liked the “tinkle, tinkle” of that bell.
-
-Susan said that all the rabbits were out looking for Bunny, and that
-they thought him very naughty.
-
-When Bunny got home, he said that he would go to school now every day
-if Susan might stop for him. It worked well for a week, then that
-naughty Bunny got up early and went down to watch the little fishes
-swimming in the brook. All the rabbits went out to look for him and
-found him and took him home, as before.
-
-That night Mother Cotton-Tail sat by the fire a long time, thinking.
-Presently, she crept softly out of the house, shutting the door behind
-her.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- Mother Bunny Cotton-Tail
- Seeks Mr. Owl, you see,
- And little Bunny Cotton-Tail
- Is scared as scared can be.]
-
-
-
-
-CHAPTER VII
-
-
-Now, what do you suppose Mother Bunny was going to do? She was going to
-find Mr. Owl, who is the wisest creature in the woods. And why was she
-going to find Mr. Owl? Because she wanted to ask him how to stop Bunny
-Cotton-Tail from running away.
-
-Mr. Owl was at home, as usual, sitting on a branch of an old pine-tree.
-When Mother Cotton-Tail told her story, he blinked his round eyes and
-turned his head all the way around to hide a smile. He had heard of
-Bunny Cotton-Tail before.
-
-Mr. Owl did not talk very much; wise people never do. So he answered
-Mother Cotton-Tail with two words: “Mr. Fox.”
-
-Mother Cotton-Tail did not see what that meant, but Mr. Owl had no more
-to say, so she started slowly homeward.
-
-On the way home she passed Mr. Fox’s den. There she saw an old overcoat
-of his out on the line. Then, whisk! jump! as quick as a wink she had
-that overcoat down from the line, and was off, carrying it over her
-shoulder.
-
-When she was safely away from Mr. Fox’s den, she crept into the coat,
-though it was much too big, and doubled her ears up neatly inside his
-cap.
-
-She looked ahead of her, and what did she see, coming down the road,
-but a little rabbit--a naughty, run-away little rabbit? She knew at
-once that it was her own Bunny.
-
-Mother Cotton-Tail stood very still in the shadow of a tree, and when
-Bunny came by, she whisked out, and took him in her arms and started
-straight for Mr. Fox’s den.
-
-Bunny Cotton-Tail was so scared that he did not say a word, but he
-thought he felt his hair turning gray, and that was a pity for one so
-young!
-
-When they got near the den, Mother Cotton-Tail stopped. Everything was
-very still.
-
-“Now, Bunny,” she said, “you shall go in there, and we will eat you
-up, unless you promise never to run away any more.”
-
-Did Bunny promise? Well, indeed he did, in a hurry! And Mother
-Cotton-Tail told him that all the foxes knew about it and would catch
-him if he ever ran away again.
-
-Then she gave him a big hug, which scared him nearly to death. Think
-of his being scared when his own mother hugged him! But you see, he
-thought she was Mr. Fox. Then she let Bunny go, and he ran straight
-home.
-
-Mother Cotton-Tail put Mr. Fox’s coat back on the line and went home,
-too, very happy.
-
-Bunny Cotton-Tail never ran away from home any more. So Mr. Owl knew
-what he was talking about, after all.
-
-Bunny and Susan were always the best of friends, but whether his sore
-paw ever got well or not, I cannot tell you, for I forgot to ask him.

-Charming Animal Stories--Both Old and New
-
-
-_BLACK BEAUTY_
-
-=_For Third and Fourth Grades._= The autobiography of a horse. Black
-Beauty, in recounting the many incidents of his life, has given us a
-series of stories full of interest, danger and excitement, through all
-of which is a pathetic plea for the more considerate treatment of his
-kind. He tells his story from colthood to old age, and an interesting
-one it is. In fact, few stories have equaled it.
-
-Over one million copies have been sold. Our edition is the best one on
-the market to-day for the money. The paper is good, the print large,
-the binding strong. =214 pages. Price, Cloth, 30 cents. Paper 15 cents.=
-
-
-_COLLIERY JIM_: The Autobiography of a Mine Mule.
-
-=_For Fourth and Fifth Grades._ By Nora Finch.= Hundreds of thousands
-of “Black Beauty” have been sold, and the amount of good done by the
-publication of this book is beyond estimate.
-
-Colliery Jim is similar in style and character, but is an account of
-a mine mule instead of a horse. The style is much the same. It begins
-with his early life in the West, his purchase, and the sending of him
-to a coal mine in Pennsylvania. Descriptions are given of the methods
-of shipping live stock, suggestions made in reference to the same.
-
-Colliery Jim tells about coal mines, of the methods of mining, and all
-the conditions existing at present.
-
-Miss Finch lives in a part of the coal mining district of Pennsylvania
-and her work is based on facts. =Illustrated. Good type, paper and
-print. Cloth. 170 pages. Price, 40 cents.=
-
-
-_DUKE_
-
-=_For Third and Fourth Grades._= This is a sequel to Black Beauty,
-and like it has met with great popularity. It is the story of Duke,
-one of the noblest dogs of dog kind. The frolics of Duke and his
-merry companions are the delight of all children and make a most
-interesting story. The intelligence of this dog is almost human.
-His many hairbreadth escapes, his rescues of human life, his noble
-self-sacrifices, his wonderful adventures, make him the hero of all
-dogs, and render his life human in everything but speech. =154 pages.
-Price, Cloth, 30 cents. Paper, 15 cents.=
-
-
-_THE STRIKE AT SHANE’S_
-
-=For Third and Fourth Grades.= This is a second sequel to Black Beauty,
-and is a strong plea for dumb animals. It points a moral that all
-should read and fully heed.
-
-It illustrates how an avaricious man in his greed for money can be
-misled into the cruel abuse of dumb animals, how retribution overtakes
-him in the form of a “strike” among the beasts of burden, how he is
-finally led to see the error of his way, and how prosperity once more
-smiles upon him. =96 pages. Price, Cloth, 30 cents. Paper 15 cents.=

-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-

- you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
- does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
- License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
- copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
- all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
- works.

-
-1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project

-from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of
-the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the Foundation as set
-forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

-DAMAGE.

-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
-agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.

-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-
-
-
-<p><span class="smcap">If little</span> Bunny Cotton-Tail had
-not read by candle-light, this story
-might never have been written.</p>
-
-<p>One evening Bunny Cotton-Tail
-read very late, and he was so
-excited over the story he was
-reading that he waved one paw
-too near the candle, and burned it
-sadly. Poor Bunny cried so loud
-that all the neighbors heard him,
-and came running in to see what
-was the matter. Have you ever<span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">[6]</span>
-cried so loud that you could be
-heard next door?</p>
-
-<p>Mother Cotton-Tail tied up the
-burned paw in a cabbage leaf and
-sent Bunny to bed. And what do
-you suppose that comical Bunny did?
-He liked the smell of the cabbage
-so well, that he ate the leaf all up,
-and his poor paw began to hurt
-worse than ever.</p>
-
-<p>This time he did not cry, for he
-was afraid he would be scolded for
-eating the cabbage leaf. He crept
-out of bed and ran out of the
-house.</p>
-
-<p>Mother Cotton-Tail never allowed
-little Bunny to go out late at night,
-so now everything seemed very
-strange to him. He looked at the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">[7]</span>
-big moon, and he was afraid. He
-ran on for some time and he came
-to a beautiful garden.</p>
-
-<p>Here he saw more cabbages than
-he had ever dreamed of! There
-were big cabbages, little cabbages,
-and middle-sized cabbages. He was
-just going to have a nice meal
-when he looked up and saw a very
-tall creature waving its arms at
-him.</p>
-
-<p>Poor little Bunny was sadly
-frightened. He did not know that
-this big thing was only a scare-crow.
-He had never seen a scare-crow
-before, in all his life. But
-he had seen men, and his mother
-had told him that men did not
-like rabbits. Bunny thought the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">[8]</span>
-scare-crow was a man, and he
-quickly crept close to a big cabbage,
-to hide, and lay quite still for a
-while.</p>
-
-<p>Every now and then Bunny
-peeped out from among the cabbage
-leaves, and there that awful creature
-and the moon were, always staring
-at him!</p>
-
-<p>By and by, he decided to run
-home, and he started off as fast as
-his little legs would carry him. But
-the moonlight made him dizzy, and
-he took the wrong road.</p>
-
-<p>When daylight came, poor little
-Bunny Cotton-Tail was far from
-home, and soon a hunter came that
-way, and caught him. The hunter
-put Bunny in his bag and took him<span class="pagenum" id="Page_9">[9]</span>
-home for his little boy to play with.
-The little boy&#8217;s name was Harold.
-When his papa came in with Bunny,
-Harold clapped his hands for joy.
-Then the whole family gathered
-around and made remarks about
-poor Bunny.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Why are his ears so long?&#8221;
-Harold asked.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;To keep the flies off,&#8221; answered
-Uncle Jack.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;He must have left his tail at
-home,&#8221; said big brother.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;He looks scared. We must build
-him a house,&#8221; said papa.</p>
-
-<p>So they all went to work and
-made a nice house for Bunny, and
-big brother brought him a large leaf
-of cabbage to eat.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[10]</span>Two big tears rolled down poor
-Bunny&#8217;s face, for the cabbage made
-him think of his fright in the garden,
-and his sore paw, and how he
-had left home.</p>
-
-<p>Then Harold took Bunny in his
-arms and hugged him, and that
-made the poor little rabbit feel
-better, and he fell asleep.</p>
-
-<p>When Harold put Bunny back in
-his box, he forgot to shut the door.
-He never thought that in the morning
-his new pet might be gone.</p>

-</div>
-
-
-<p><span class="smcap">Late</span> that night Bunny Cotton-Tail
-made up his mind to run away.
-So he crept out of his little house,
-and through a hole in the back
-fence, and was off. The great
-moon was staring down at him, and
-he was very much afraid of the
-moon, but he could not go very
-fast, for his paw still hurt him and
-he limped sadly.</p>
-
-<p>After a while he sat down on a
-log to rest, and whom did he see
-coming down the road with a wheel-barrow
-but Mother Cotton-Tail? She
-had been searching all night and
-all day for Bunny.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[13]</span>When Bunny saw his mother he
-clapped his paws together so hard
-that he hurt his sore one, and he
-cried: &#8220;Oh, ma, oh, ma!&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Mother Cotton-Tail did not waste
-any words, for Mr. Fox is out in
-the woods at night. She just
-tumbled Bunny into that old wheel-barrow,
-and whisk! they went down
-the road; while the big moon
-laughed and made a face at them.</p>
-
-<p>When they got home all the
-rabbits in the neighborhood stood
-around the front gate, and they all
-cried: &#8220;Hurrah! welcome home,
-Bunny!&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Bunny was so ashamed that he
-hung his head and waved his sore
-paw feebly. Then his mother took<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">[14]</span>
-him into the house and put him to
-bed.</p>
-
-<p>Poor Bunny was so shaken up
-by the ride in that wheel-barrow
-that he did not sleep very well,
-and next day he had to stay at
-home with his mother while all
-the other rabbits went to a pic-nic.</p>
-
-<p>After supper, when he was sitting
-up in a big arm-chair by the
-window, whom should he see coming
-slowly up the road but his dear
-friend Susan Cotton-Tail? Susan
-Cotton-Tail walked slowly because
-she was very tired. The rabbits
-had tramped miles and miles on
-that pic-nic.</p>
-
-<p>Susan Cotton-Tail carried something
-on her arm. At first Bunny thought it<span class="pagenum" id="Page_15">[15]</span>
-was a bag, and then he saw it was a
-basket. What do you suppose Susan
-Cotton-Tail had in that basket?
-She had some nice things that she
-had saved for Bunny, from the pic-nic.</p>
-
-<p>When Susan saw Bunny sitting
-by the window, she did not stop
-to go around to the front door,
-as her mother had trained her to
-do. She jumped right in through
-the window, and took a seat on
-the arm of Bunny&#8217;s chair.</p>
-
-<p>Have you ever had to stay at
-home from a pic-nic when all the
-other children went? And did you
-have a dear friend who brought
-you some of the good things to
-eat? If so, you know just how
-Bunny felt.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">[16]</span>Susan Cotton-Tail had sandwiches
-in that basket, and cabbage leaves
-and radishes, and little cookies
-cut in the shape of a rabbit. (One
-of the mother rabbits had made
-these for a joke.)</p>
-
-<p>After a nice visit Susan said she
-must go home.</p>
-
-<p>Susan wanted to go and pick
-berries next day. Bunny asked his
-mother if he might go too, and
-she said he might, if he would try
-to be a good little rabbit after
-this. Bunny promised, and then he
-went with Susan to the gate.</p>

-
-
-<p><span class="smcap">The</span> next day, when Bunny Cotton-Tail
-woke up, he heard the
-rain pattering against the window
-panes. He cried so loud, and his
-tears fell so fast, that his little
-brother thought the roof was leaking!</p>
-
-<p>Mother Cotton-Tail said it would
-do no good to cry about the rain,
-and she went to the closet and
-brought out a beautiful new silk
-umbrella. She had bought it for a
-birthday present for Bunny, but she
-hated to see Bunny unhappy, so
-she said he might go out in the
-rain so as to use it.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[19]</span>Now, Bunny was not a very
-careful little rabbit, so he did not
-wait to learn how to open it, but
-ran out of the house and down
-the road with the umbrella in his
-paw. That is the reason you see
-him so in the picture. He ran
-fast, because he wanted to show
-Susan his new present.</p>
-
-<p>Now, wasn&#8217;t it odd that on that
-very same morning Susan Cotton-Tail
-cried when she saw the rain,
-and that her mother gave her a
-beautiful new umbrella? But Susan
-was a careful rabbit, and learned
-how to open and use the umbrella
-before she went out.</p>
-
-<p>Susan had left her basket at
-Bunny&#8217;s house the night before, so<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[20]</span>
-her mother said she might go after
-it. That is the way the two rabbits
-happened to meet.</p>
-
-<p>Bunny was delighted when Susan
-showed him how to open his umbrella,
-and they stood there some
-time, talking in the rain. Of course
-it was too wet to go for berries,
-but they wanted to have some fun,
-so they decided to go to Bunny&#8217;s
-house and blow soap-bubbles.</p>
-
-<p>On the way home they passed a
-nice garden. Farmer Jones was
-out working in it that morning.
-Bunny wished very much for a bite
-of cabbage, so he begged Susan to
-come and hide behind the raspberry
-bushes, so that they could
-nibble something while Farmer<span class="pagenum" id="Page_21">[21]</span>
-Jones was not looking. Now Susan
-was a good little rabbit, and she
-knew that to steal is very wrong,
-so she said, &#8220;No.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Then Susan and Bunny went on
-to Bunny&#8217;s house, and here they
-blew soap-bubbles all the morning.</p>

-
-
-<p><span class="smcap">Next</span> day, Bunny went over to
-Susan&#8217;s house and found Susan&#8217;s
-mother crying, and what do you
-suppose had happened? Why, Susan
-Cotton-Tail had not come home,
-and her mother was afraid she
-might be lost.</p>
-
-<p>When Bunny heard the news, he
-cried into a little red handkerchief
-that he had wrapped around his
-sore paw, and he said he wished to
-die if Susan Cotton-Tail could not
-be found!</p>
-
-<p>Now Bunny knew that old Farmer
-Jones hated the sight of even
-his little stubby tail, so he thought<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[24]</span>
-the quickest way for him to die
-would be to run over into the
-farmer&#8217;s garden.</p>
-
-<p>He told Susan&#8217;s mother good-by,
-waved his sore paw feebly, and set
-out for the garden. He thought that
-if he must die he would eat some
-cabbage first, and he was nibbling
-away when he heard some one
-whisper his name very softly.</p>
-
-<p>At first he thought it was Marie,
-Farmer Jones&#8217;s little girl, so he
-curled right up close beside a cabbage,
-and did not say a word. He
-peeped around the cabbage, and he
-could see Farmer Jones&#8217;s blue shirt,
-and once in a while he could hear
-him whistle.</p>
-
-<p>Then he heard a soft little voice<span class="pagenum" id="Page_25">[25]</span>
-say: &#8220;Bunny, Bunny, Bunny.&#8221; He
-looked over by the raspberry bushes,
-and what do you suppose he saw?
-There was Susan Cotton-Tail, caught
-in a trap!</p>
-
-<p>When Bunny saw Susan he forgot
-all about Farmer Jones, and
-he gave a loud squeal, just the
-same kind of a squeal he gave
-when he burned his paw. Farmer
-Jones came running, and cried: &#8220;Ah,
-ha! I have caught the rabbit at last!&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Bunny had just time to jump
-into a flower pot, and Farmer Jones
-found poor Susan in the trap.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Now,&#8221; said Farmer Jones, &#8220;I
-have caught the naughty rabbit that
-eats my cabbages, and I have a
-great mind to kill it!&#8221;</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">[26]</span>But he did not kill Susan&mdash;oh,
-my, no&mdash;for she just blinked her
-eyes and smiled at him. She was
-not the least bit afraid; and why
-should she have been, when she
-had never stolen anything from
-Farmer Jones in her life?</p>
-
-<p>Just then Marie came running
-out into the garden, and Farmer
-Jones said:</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;See, Marie, I have caught the
-naughty rabbit that has been eating
-my cabbages, and she looks as
-though she had never done anything
-wrong in her life.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Oh, the sweet little thing!&#8221; cried
-Marie. &#8220;Let me have her for a
-pet, and I will put a pretty blue
-ribbon around her neck.&#8221;</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">[27]</span>So Marie took Susan up in her
-little apron and carried her, very
-gently and carefully, into the house.
-She made room for the little rabbit
-in her doll&#8217;s bed, and there Susan
-fell asleep.</p>

-
-
-<p><span class="smcap">What</span> did Bunny Cotton-Tail do
-then, do you suppose? He felt so
-sorry about Susan that he cried
-nearly all day, and he was so
-afraid of Farmer Jones now, that
-he did not dare to come out of
-the flower pot! The flower pot had
-rolled over on one side, so he was
-quite hidden.</p>
-
-<p>Now it happened that Marie had
-a nice flower-bed in front of the
-house, and a friend had given her
-a new plant to set out. So she
-began to look for a flower pot to
-cover it. Of course, you can guess
-what happened. Marie found Bunny<span class="pagenum" id="Page_30">[30]</span>
-Cotton-Tail, the flower pot and all!
-&#8220;Oh, papa, here is another bunny!
-They must be twins,&#8221; she cried.</p>
-
-<p>Farmer Jones came up, and when
-he saw how scared poor little Bunny
-looked, he laughed. He said if they
-put the two rabbits together, they
-could soon tell whether they knew
-each other or not. So Marie carried
-Bunny into the house.</p>
-
-<p>Susan Cotton-Tail had fallen asleep
-in the doll&#8217;s bed, so Marie slipped
-Bunny in beside her, and he pretended
-to go to sleep, too. Farmer
-Jones said this proved that they
-knew each other; for if they had
-been strange rabbits, they would
-have fought.</p>
-
-<p>Night came on, and the big clock<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">[31]</span>
-in the hall struck twelve, and Susan
-woke up. She was so delighted to
-find Bunny beside her, that she
-almost screamed for joy, but Bunny
-put one little soft paw over her
-mouth, for he was afraid she would
-waken some one, and he was already
-planning how they could get away
-from Farmer Jones&#8217;s house.</p>
-
-<p>He told Susan that he had heard
-the cook say she would leave the
-pantry window open to keep her
-preserves cool, so, if they could
-only find the pantry, they might
-escape.</p>
-
-<p>Susan listened so eagerly that her
-ears flopped on the side of the
-doll&#8217;s bed as though she were keeping
-time to a tune.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">[32]</span>Bunny stole out of bed, and began
-to search for the pantry. He told
-Susan to wait until he came back
-for her.</p>
-
-<p>The moon was not shining, and it
-was very dark. Bunny felt his way
-along carefully, till he came to the
-sitting-room. Here he saw a big
-black box, beside a window, and
-it looked to him as though the
-window were open. Up he jumped
-on the box, to make sure, and crash!
-he fell on something that played a
-tune! The quicker he ran up and
-down, the louder the tune was, and
-the louder the tune was, the more
-scared Bunny was, and the more he
-ran up and down.</p>
-
-<p>Farmer Jones waked up and could<span class="pagenum" id="Page_33">[33]</span>
-not think what all the noise meant.
-He jumped out of bed and ran
-down stairs two steps at a time,
-with a candle in his hand. He
-found Bunny dancing about on the
-piano keys, and he laughed till he
-cried.</p>
-
-<p>Then he called the whole family
-down stairs to see the strange
-sight. Everybody laughed and petted
-Bunny, and the more they laughed,
-the more scared he was, until he
-saw Susan peeping around a curtain
-at him.</p>
-
-<p>Then he gave one bound for
-the open window. Susan followed
-him, quick as a flash, and whisk!
-the two frightened little rabbits
-were racing away down the road<span class="pagenum" id="Page_34">[34]</span>
-before one of the family could say,
-&#8220;Jack Robinson.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>What Farmer Jones and the
-family thought about it I cannot
-say, but I can tell you that Susan
-and Bunny were very careful never
-to go into his garden again.</p>

-<p><span class="smcap">When</span> Susan&#8217;s mother saw Susan,
-she laughed and she cried. Then
-she put Susan to bed, and there
-the poor little rabbit stayed for
-a week, and then it was time for
-school to begin.</p>
-
-<p>When Bunny&#8217;s mother saw him,
-she switched him with a little maple
-switch, and sat him up in the corner
-until he told the whole story.</p>
-
-<p>Bunny ran away so much, you
-see, that his mother was quite used
-to it, while Susan was a good rabbit
-and had never before run away
-from home.</p>
-
-<p>The week passed, and then Bunny&#8217;s<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">[37]</span>
-mother said Bunny must go to
-school. For rabbits have to go to
-school if they want to learn anything,
-of course!</p>
-
-<p>So she put up a nice little lunch
-for Bunny, and gave his coat an
-extra brush. She brushed him so
-hard that he cried a little, and went
-down the road with his dinner pail
-on his arm, brushing the tears away
-with his sore paw!</p>
-
-<p>Bunny never did like to go to
-school very well, so when he stopped
-crying, and found that he had
-taken the wrong road and was going
-into the woods, he was not
-sorry at all.</p>
-
-<p>He went on a little way and saw
-some squirrels. They seemed to be<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">[38]</span>
-having a very good time, and
-Bunny sat down to watch them at
-their play. Then he opened his
-basket and began to eat his lunch,
-for he was always hungry.</p>
-
-<p>He was so tired then, after his
-long tramp, that he fell asleep, and
-he never opened his eyes until he
-heard a soft &#8220;tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.&#8221;
-He opened his eyes, and there stood
-Susan Cotton-Tail, smiling at him.</p>
-
-<p>Bunny did not know where he
-was, at first, but he rubbed his eyes
-hard, and then he asked Susan where
-she had got the dear little bell that
-hung around her neck. Susan said
-it was a reward given her by her
-teacher for good behavior. Then
-Bunny was sorry that he had not<span class="pagenum" id="Page_39">[39]</span>
-gone to school, for he liked the
-&#8220;tinkle, tinkle&#8221; of that bell.</p>
-
-<p>Susan said that all the rabbits
-were out looking for Bunny, and
-that they thought him very naughty.</p>
-
-<p>When Bunny got home, he said
-that he would go to school now
-every day if Susan might stop for
-him. It worked well for a week,
-then that naughty Bunny got up
-early and went down to watch the
-little fishes swimming in the brook.
-All the rabbits went out to look
-for him and found him and took
-him home, as before.</p>
-
-<p>That night Mother Cotton-Tail sat
-by the fire a long time, thinking.
-Presently, she crept softly out of the
-house, shutting the door behind her.</p>

-</div>
-
-
-<p><span class="smcap">Now,</span> what do you suppose Mother
-Bunny was going to do? She was
-going to find Mr. Owl, who is the
-wisest creature in the woods. And
-why was she going to find Mr.
-Owl? Because she wanted to ask
-him how to stop Bunny Cotton-Tail
-from running away.</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Owl was at home, as usual,
-sitting on a branch of an old pine-tree.
-When Mother Cotton-Tail told
-her story, he blinked his round
-eyes and turned his head all the
-way around to hide a smile. He had
-heard of Bunny Cotton-Tail before.</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Owl did not talk very much;<span class="pagenum" id="Page_42">[42]</span>
-wise people never do. So he answered
-Mother Cotton-Tail with two
-words: &#8220;Mr. Fox.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Mother Cotton-Tail did not see
-what that meant, but Mr. Owl had
-no more to say, so she started
-slowly homeward.</p>
-
-<p>On the way home she passed Mr.
-Fox&#8217;s den. There she saw an old
-overcoat of his out on the line.
-Then, whisk! jump! as quick as a
-wink she had that overcoat down
-from the line, and was off, carrying
-it over her shoulder.</p>
-
-<p>When she was safely away from
-Mr. Fox&#8217;s den, she crept into the
-coat, though it was much too big,
-and doubled her ears up neatly
-inside his cap.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">[43]</span>She looked ahead of her, and
-what did she see, coming down the
-road, but a little rabbit&mdash;a naughty,
-run-away little rabbit? She knew at
-once that it was her own Bunny.</p>
-
-<p>Mother Cotton-Tail stood very still
-in the shadow of a tree, and when
-Bunny came by, she whisked out,
-and took him in her arms and
-started straight for Mr. Fox&#8217;s den.</p>
-
-<p>Bunny Cotton-Tail was so scared
-that he did not say a word, but
-he thought he felt his hair turning
-gray, and that was a pity for one
-so young!</p>
-
-<p>When they got near the den,
-Mother Cotton-Tail stopped. Everything
-was very still.</p>
-
-<p>&#8220;Now, Bunny,&#8221; she said, &#8220;you shall<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">[44]</span>
-go in there, and we will eat you
-up, unless you promise never to run
-away any more.&#8221;</p>
-
-<p>Did Bunny promise? Well, indeed
-he did, in a hurry! And Mother
-Cotton-Tail told him that all the
-foxes knew about it and would
-catch him if he ever ran away
-again.</p>
-
-<p>Then she gave him a big hug,
-which scared him nearly to death.
-Think of his being scared when his
-own mother hugged him! But you
-see, he thought she was Mr. Fox.
-Then she let Bunny go, and he ran
-straight home.</p>
-
-<p>Mother Cotton-Tail put Mr. Fox&#8217;s
-coat back on the line and went
-home, too, very happy.</p>
-
-
-
-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">[45]</span>Bunny Cotton-Tail never ran away
-from home any more. So Mr. Owl
-knew what he was talking about,
-after all.</p>
-
-<p>Bunny and Susan were always
-the best of friends, but whether
-his sore paw ever got well or not,
-I cannot tell you, for I forgot to
-ask him.</p>

-him to a coal mine in Pennsylvania. Descriptions are given of the methods
-of shipping live stock, suggestions made in reference to the same.</p>

-Duke, one of the noblest dogs of dog kind. The frolics of Duke and
-his merry companions are the delight of all children and make a most

-moral that all should read and fully heed.</p>
-
-<p>It illustrates how an avaricious man in his greed for money can be
-misled into the cruel abuse of dumb animals, how retribution overtakes
-him in the form of a &#8220;strike&#8221; among the beasts of burden, how he is
-finally led to see the error of his way, and how prosperity once more
-smiles upon him. <b>96 pages. Price, Cloth, 30 cents. Paper 15 cents.</b></p>

-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg&#8482;&#8217;s
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg&#8482; collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg&#8482; and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
-visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-</div>

-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
