He tried to run back
down the hole, but he found he had not made it large enough to turn
around in.
So Sammie Littletail, frightened as he as at the dreadful animal, had to
jump out of the burrow to get ready to run down it again, and, just as
he did so, the big animal cried out to him:
"Hold on there!"
Sammie shook with fright, and did not dare move. But, after all, the big
animal did not intend to harm him. And what happened, and who the big
animal was I will tell you to-morrow night.

SAMMIE AND SUSIE HELP MRS. WREN
The big animal with the horns came close to Sammie.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I--I don't know," replied the little rabbit boy.
"How did you get here?"
"I was digging a new burrow, and I--I just happened to come out here.
But I'll go right away again, if you'll let me."
"Of course I'll let you. Don't you know it's against the rules of the
park to be here? What do you suppose they have different parts of the
park for, if it isn't to keep you rabbits out of certain places?"
"I'm sure I don't know," was all Sammie could say.
"Do you know who I am?" asked the horned creature.
