"Now, go ahead, Bunny Brown!" called Sue. "Let's see you make a flat
nose!" Bunny drew his face back from the window. His little nose was quite white where he had pressed it--white because he had kept nearly all the blood from flowing into it. But soon his little "smeller," as sometimes Bunny's father called his nose, began to get red again. Bunny began to rub it. "What you doing?" Sue wanted to know, thinking her brother might not be playing fair in this little game. "I'm rubbing my nose," Bunny answered. "Yes, I know. But what for?" "'Cause it's cold. If I'm going to make my nose flatter'n yours I have to warm it a little. The glass is cold!" "Yes, it is a little cold," agreed Sue. "Well, go ahead now; let's see you flat your nose!" Bunny took a long breath. He then pressed his nose so hard against the glass that tears came into his eyes. But he didn't want Sue to see them. And he wouldn't admit that he was crying, which he really wasn't doing. "Look at me now! Look at me!" cried Bunny, talking as though he had a very bad cold in his head. |
