Burgess Animal Book Bed Time Story / Fairy Tale

 

Ryder was sitting on the edge of the Old Briar-patch one morning when Ol’ Mistah Buzzard passed, flying low. “Good morning, Brer Cottontail,” said Ol’ Mistah Buzzard, with a twinkle in his eye.

At first Ryder didn’t understand that Ol’ Mistah Buzzard was speaking to him, and by the time he did it was too late to reply, for Ol’ Mistah Buzzard was way, way up in the blue, blue sky. “Cottontail, Cottontail,” said Ryder over and over to himself and began to smile. Every time he said it he liked it better.
