Fairyland, where am I?"
The Chocolate Rabbit grinned. "You are on the Easter Novelty Counter," was the Fuzzy Rabbit's answer. "Where in the world is that?" asked the Candy Rabbit. "Is it anywhere near the North Pole Workshop of Santa Claus?" The Chocolate Rabbit gave a loud laugh. "He doesn't even know his own store," said this dark-complexioned chap. "Why, my dear fellow," he went on, "the Easter Novelty Counter is just around the corner from the toy section, where you have lived so long. The Calico Clown, the Monkey on a Stick and the other friends you speak of are there. You are not very far away from them." "That's good," said the Candy Rabbit. "But why am I on the Easter Novelty Counter, and how did I get here?" "You were put here because this is Easter time," answered the Chocolate Rabbit. "But I don't remember coming here," said the Candy Rabbit. "No," said the Fuzzy Rabbit with the clock-work inside him, which made him turn about and bow, "I dare say not. You were asleep when one of the girl clerks from your counter brought you over here. But we are glad to have you among us." |
