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 Bobtail's long ears to wake him up.

Bobtail rolled out of bed, and that waked Billy.

"Oh, I am so sleepy!" said Billy. "I don'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 Bobtail.

"I don'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 Bobtail.
