"What stories shall I write?" asked Bunny.

"You can write about the good times you and Bobtail 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.

Bobtail and Billy hopped up to see what their brother was doing.

"Come down and play with us," said Bobtail.

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.
