pole, and tickle the rag doll with her horns.

SUSIE LITTLETAIL JUMPS ROPE
Sammie and Susie Littletail were coming home from school. Didn't I
mention before that the little bunny children went to school? Well, I
meant to, I'm sure, and if I overlooked it I hope you will excuse me,

school teacher--a good, kind old owl, who never kept the bunny children
in.
