o'clock
And in the next story if Billy Bunny gets out of that hollow stump before I see him , I 'll ask Robbie Redbreast to tell me what he does so that I can write to-morrow 's story for you to read . Robbie Redbreast told me this morning he saw Billy Bunny hop out of the hollow stump where he had hidden with the little lady bunny , you remember in the last story , to escape from the two bad foxes . Well , after he had looked all around to make sure they were gone , he said good-by to Miss Rabbit . And then , so Robbie Redbreast told me , he looked at his gold watch and chain , which his dear , kind Uncle Lucky had given him for a birthday present , and it was just thirteen o'clock . `` That 's my lucky number , '' exclaimed the little rabbit ; `` maybe I 'll find my fortune to-day . '' And he looked all about him , under a stone and behind a bush , but there was n't any fortune in sight , not even a twenty-dollar gold piece . So he wound his watch and started off again ; and by and by , not so very far , he came to a castle where lived a giant bunny whose name was `` Ragged Rabbit '' because he always wore torn and tattered clothes .
