ght," said the little bunny, dropping the two quarters in his knapsack, and by and by, not so very far, he met Squirrel Nutcracker. "Where are you going?" asked the old gray squirrel. "Down to the Post Office," answered the little rabbit. "Will you buy me a dollar's worth of Thrift Stamps, please," said Squirrel Nutcracker. So the little rabbit tucked the lettuce dollar bill in his waistcoat pocket and hopped along. And pretty soon, not so very far, he met Busy Beaver. He was plastering the top of his little mud house and was dreadfully busy, but when he heard where Little Jack Rabbit was going, he put his little muddy paw in his pocket and took out a fifty cent piece. "Please buy me two Thrift Stamps, I've no time to go to the village. I must finish my house before the frost comes."

"Oh, yes, I can," answered Little Jack Rabbit. "What do you want?" "That depends on where you are going," said Professor Jim Crow, for it was the old blackbird who had stopped the little rabbit, you see. "I'm going to the Post Office to buy Mother Three Thrift Stamps and Uncle John the Rabbitville Gazette, and let me see. Oh, yes; oh, yes.
