Bill Bunny had a magic nose.
When he wiggled his nose,
he could make things change colors.
If a dog barked at him in the garden,
Bill Bunny would wiggle his nose
and the dog would turn pink!
Now, everybody knows that dogs
aren't supposed to be pink.
"If you don't bother me anymore," Bill Bunny said,
"I'll make you white again."
And he did.
When Frisky Kitten
wanted to play and tried to pounce on him,
Bill Bunny wiggled his nose
and turned Kitten green!
Green is a strange color for a kitten.
Then one morning Bill Bunny turned everyone in the
garden yellow,
just as a naughty joke.
But nobody laughed.
"Bill Bunny," said Miss Mouse,
"you are very naughty.
Someone should give you a spanking!"
Bill Bunny frowned and wiggled his nose to turn
Miss Mouse green.
But then Miss Mouse slammed her door,
very hard,
on Bill's nose.
And Bill Bunny turned green himself!
And then he turned pink!
He ran to the pond,
where all the other animals were
washing and scrubbing.
"I'm sorry I was naughty," he said.
"May I wash, too?"
The animals scrubbed and rubbed, and finally
Bill Bunny was white again, all except his ears,
that is.
His ears stayed pink forever.
And Bill Bunny never used his magic nose again,
except for sniffing good smells, of course!
