THE WHITE RABBIT AND HIS FRIENDS
STORY I
Bumper and Sleepy the Opossum
Bumper, after working hard to trick his enemies so they would be more
afraid of the rabbits in the woods, had decided the ways of peace were
better than those of war. Not that he was going to permit Sneaky the Wolf

Bobby had many friends in the woods, and they all liked him and smiled at
him, but there were some who thought his careless ways might get him in
