WHILE Peter was listening, around the turn in the road, came two big beautiful black horses, with a shiny red sleigh. Peter was so delighted that he began to jump up and down and clap his hands. “Oh! goodie,” he cried, “I wish I could ride in a sleigh like that.”

A PRETTY little girl, with bright golden curls, was sitting in the sleigh, and, when she saw Peter, she told the driver to stop the horses at once. “Oh! see the poor little rabbit, jumping up and down, trying to keep himself warm,” she cried.
