"Oh, if you bite my ears I can't be in the show!" said the poor Rabbit. The Monkey climbed higher and higher on his stick, after he had said he would stop the Goat from eating the Candy Rabbit. And now, just as the Goat was going to take the Bunny up from the box, the Monkey suddenly gave a jump! Oh, such a jump! Off his stick he jumped, and he landed right on the Goat's back. With his hands the Monkey began to pull the Goat's hair. He even reached around and pulled the Goat's whiskers, the Monkey did. "Baa-a-a-a-a!" bleated the Goat. "Stop, Monkey! You're hurting me! You're pulling my hair!" "Then get out of this tent and leave the Candy Rabbit alone!" shouted the Monkey. "No! I want sweet stuff!" bleated the bad Goat. Then the Monkey jumped off the Goat's back, and, catching up the stick, on which he climbed to the top when the string was pulled, the Monkey began hitting the Goat over the nose with it. "Oh, my nose! My soft and tender nose!" bleated the Goat, as he ran out of the tent. "Thank you, so much, for saving me," said the Rabbit to the Monkey, as the likely chap climbed back on his stick. |
