The three rabbits soon found some tender little roots hidden under the
blanket of snow.

"This is a good breakfast," said Bunny.

"Yes, it is a very good breakfast," said Billy, as he nibbled on the
root he had found.

At last Bunny jumped up and shook his long ears.

"I have finished my breakfast," he said.

"So have I," said Billy.

"So have I," said Bobtail.

"Now we can make a long slide over in the meadow," said Bunny.

"I know where we can make the best slide," said Bobtail.

"Where, where?" asked Bunny.

"Over on the hill beside the pond," said Bobtail.

"That is too far away," said Billy. "I think I will go home."

But Bunny and Bobtail would not let him. They took hold of his hand,
and made him hop along with them through the snow.

"Where are you going?" called Bobby Gray Squirrel.
