"That's my pop-gun, Mr. Giant," said Billy Bunny, "and if you try to
hurt me I'll shoot you." And then the Ragged Giant Rabbit laughed
again, and this time the picture of his grandfather fell down and made
a big dent in the floor.
"If you don't stop laughing," said the little rabbit, "you'll deafen
me. Please only giggle." So the Giant Rabbit grew very polite indeed
and only smiled, and then of course nothing was broken.
"Tell me who you are and where you are going and what time it is," he
said, "and then I'll give you something to eat."
But before the little rabbit could reply a loud knocking came at the
door, and so you'll have to wait to hear who was there until to-
morrow, for I've no more room in this story.
STORY XIX.
BILLY BUNNY AND TAILOR BIRD.
You remember in the last story somebody was knocking at the door of
the Ragged Rabbit's castle, don't you? The Giant Rabbit, who always
wore torn and tattered clothes because he had no wife to mend them and
wouldn't pay his tailor's bills?
Well, who do you suppose was on the other side of that door? Just wait
until the Giant Rabbit opens it and you shall see.
