the Old Rail Fence.

“Oh, dear!” cried the little rabbit, “that old robber fox has stolen
a chicken from the good kind farmer.”

“Well, we can’t help that,” answered Uncle Lucky. “Foxes must live
as well as other people, only it’s too bad they can’t eat nuts like
squirrels, or cabbages like rabbits.”

Then all of a sudden the little rabbit had a bright idea. Taking out
his Policeman’s whistle, he blew on it with all his might. And, would
you believe it! that crafty old fox thought the Policeman Dog was
coming and dropped the chicken.

“My, you’re a clever little chap,” laughed Uncle Lucky, when all of a
sudden, three little grasshoppers in a field close by began to sing:

    “Oh, dear, oh, dear, what shall we do
       Now that sweet summer time is through.
     We chirped and hopped all through the day
       And spent our time in happy play.

     But now the autumn winds are cold,
       The little lambs are in the fold,
     With woolen overcoats so warm
       To keep them safe from chill and storm.”

“Hop into my Luckymobile,” invited Uncle Lucky. “We’ll take you home
to Lady Love. You can live in the kitchen woodbox all winter and when
Spring comes you may hop out and dance on the grass.”

Well, it didn’t take those three shivering grasshoppers long to jump
into the Luckymobile, nor to reach the dear Old Bramble Patch.

“Lady Love! Lady Love!” shouted Uncle Lucky, hopping up the winding
path through the bushes.

“What is it?” asked the pretty lady bunny, opening the kitchen door.
How she laughed when she saw them all, Uncle Lucky, Little Jack
Rabbit and the three Little Grasshoppers. But when the old gentleman
rabbit had explained how shivery cold the grasshoppers were, and how
he had brought them for a visit, the dear little bunny lady invited
them into the kitchen to warm themselves by the stove. After poking
the fire, she put on the kettle and set the table with apple pie and
lollypops.

    “Three grasshoppers sat down to eat,
       Heigh-ho and two pink gumdrops!
     They had apple pie and grains of wheat,
       Heigh-ho and three lollypops.

     And what did they have to drink,
       Well, let me stop to think.
     Ice cream soda and turnip tea
       And then they were as happy as happy could be,”

sang the pretty Canary Bird.

And that’s how the Three Little Grasshoppers first came to spend the
winter in Lady Love’s bungalow.
