w. We will dance for you and sing for you."

Careless Children--

"We are Careless Children, oh me, oh my; To be careful we never try. We do not mind what any one's said; Ha, ha, let's go to the Pansy bed."

March Hare--

"Ho, ho, ho, don't you dare; I'm the bad little, sad little Mad March Hare!"

Careless Children--

"We beg your pardon, we beg your pardon; We see we are in Mother Bun's Garden!"

Hollyhocks--

"We love the Birds and love the Bees; We have few enemies, is you please."

Song, tune "Lightly Row."

Hollyhocks, hollyhocks, Growing by the garden walks, Hollyhocks, hollyhocks Hear their merry talks, Red and yellow, pink and white, Standing in the bright sunlight, Hollyhocks, hollyhocks, Growing by the walks.

Insects

"We are insects, if you please, We destroy Flowers and Trees."

Tree Toad.

"No, no, no, I beg your pardon; You'll not destroy them in Mother Bun's Garden. I am a Tree Toad, with work to do; I will call useful Sparrows too."

Sparrows--

"We'll drive the insects all away, Mother Bun, for you; We'll drive the insects all away, And this is what we'll do; We'll sing and play as well we may, And enjoy our holiday."

Daisies .

"We're Daisies who dance, We lightly advance, And skip in two's, if you please; We're Daisies who dance, and lightly advance, We love the Birds and Bees."

Hail.

"I'm old King Hail, I seldom fail To give some one a fright; My hail stones come, a tum, ti, tum, At morning, noon, or night."

March Hare.

"I'll put you to rout, without a doubt; You're just a rough old roustabout."

Little Elves rise from Tulips at the back of the stage singing to the tune of "Twinkle Little Star."

"Flowers are blooming everywhere, Sweet Bird songs are in the air, See their colors gay unfurled, Spring has come o'er all the world."

March Hare.

"I cut up some capers, I do declare, I am the comical Mad March Hare, If you like our play, we say, Call on us another day."

The little Play was over and all the visitors went home.

Old Father Bun said,

"I'll sit down now in my arm chair, And smoke away with never a care."

"Will you?" said the Scarecrow in the garden.

"Will you?" cried the Sun Dial.

Old Mother Bun said,

"I'll sit down and knit a heel or toe; I'll sit down and knit an hour or so."

"Will you?" they all cried.

Suddenly such a rapping and tapping was heard, such a stamping of feet that all the Bunnies went to the door to see what was the matter.

There was a surprise party for Mother Bun!

All the Bunnies came trooping in, and Old Father Bun did not have his quiet smoke, and Old Mother Bun did not knit her heel and toe, but they had a merry time, and the most delightful thing was still to happen!

After they had brought in hampers of good things, a great wagon drove up, and in it was a wonderful garden seat.

The Bunnies set up a shout.

"Good bye, good bye, 'till next we meet; Old Mother Bun, here is a garden seat. We wish you many happy hours, In the Garden with your Flowers."

All the Bunnies went homeward.

Said Old Mother Bun, "Good bye, good bye; To be happy I always try."

She looked at Old Father Bun who took a puff at his pipe, saying,

"Good night, but I give all fair warning, We'll meet in the Garden to-morrow morning."

Mother Bun nodded her wise old head And dreamed of Elves in the Tulip Bed; She said, "The story is done, my dear, But I'll plant a new garden every year."
