"THERABBITS:BRIDE:
HERE was once a w homan who lived
with her daughter in a beautiful
cabbage-garden ; and there came a
rabbit and ate up all the cabbages.
At last said the woman to her daughter,
“Go into the garden, and drive
out the rabbit.”
‘Shoo! shoo!” said the maiden ;
“don’t eat up all our cabbages, little
rabbit !”
‘¢Come, maiden,” said the rabbit, “sit on my tail and go
with me to my rabbit-hutch,” But the maiden would not.
Another day, back came the rabbit, and ate away at the
cabbages, until the woman said to her daughter,
‘Go into the garden, and drive away the rabbit.”
“Shoo! shoo!” said the maiden; “don’t eat up all our
cabbages, little rabbit !”
“Come, maiden,” said the rabbit, "sit on my tail and go
with me to my rabbit-hutch.” But the maiden would not.
Again, a third time back came the rabbit, and ate away at
the cabbages, until the woman said to her daughter,
‘Go into the garden, and drive away the rabbit.”
“Shoo! shoo!” said the maiden; “don’t eat up all our
. cabbages, little rabbit!”
‘Come, maiden,” said the rabbit, "sit on my tail and go
with me to my rabbit-hutch,”
And then the girl seated herself on the rabbit’s tail, and
the rabbit took her to his hutch. 7
