lihe inviting my Jriends to come ond eot with me,' Robbit soi.d. ,l
love shoring my dinner with them ond then talhing a// night with
them!'

Robbit knew o[[ the onimols thqr wothed, hopped, swom ond Jl.ew
in the Jorest. He o[wogs stopped to help or ro to[k to rhem. But he
couldn't tolh to Cochetta Bird. She [ived on a high ctrlf in the Jorest.
She had no Jriends because she didn't want to stop to hetp or to
toth to ony oJ the other onimots. Cochetto Bird hod beoutful heod
Jeathers. She Lihed looking qt her Joce in the loke o[[ doy. Robbit wos
sod obout thot.

'Cochetto Bird needs o Jriend,' he thought. 'l've got qn ideo!'

'Cochettq Bird!' he cotled loudlg one morning when he sow her neor
the lohe. Cochetto Bird didn't answer him. 'Cochetto Bird!' he calted
more loudty. 'Let's be Jriends! Come ond eot with me thls evening!'

Cochetto Bird loohed ot Robbit, shooh her heod Jeothers ot him ond
[oughed. 'No. I'm too busg to eot with o robbit. And your home is
too smo[[ ond slmpte,' she odded. 'l only eot in big and beoutful
homes, llhe mine.'

'But

I hove moonJish, btue cheese sqndwiches ond lime cahes Jor

dlnner this evening,' Rabbit onswered. 'Pleose come!'

'I

love eoting moonJish, btue cheese sondwlches and lime cohes!'

Cochetto Bird soid. 'How mony moonJish hove you got?'

'Four,' Robbit soid.

'How mony blue cheese sondwiches?'
'F[ve,' Robbtt answered.

'And how many lime cohes hove you got?'

'l've got six oJ those,' he soid gui.etlg.
'OK,' she soid.

'l can eot with you this evening.'

And she did. But she dldn't tolh to Robbit. She didn't listen to his
guestlons or onswer them and she dldn't osh Rabb[t about his home
or his hobbies. She just shooh her beoutful heod Jeothers ot him ond
quichty ote a[[ oJ his moonJi.sh, a[[ oJ his blue cheese sondwiches ond
ott oJ his llme cohes ond then J[ew boch home ogoin.

On the thlrd dag, Rabbit had onother idea.

Cochetta Bird, but I've got some

Jood Jor gou,' he called when she came to looh ot her Joce in the
[ahe. 'You can tohe it to gour big, beoutful home to eot it there.'

ground guietly ond coreJully.
He put two coconut biscults
on lt. Then, more quietly, he
hopped on the scorJ and guicktg
mode a big hnot at the top.
'Come and get gour Jood!'
Robbit cotled loudlg Jrom inslde
the scarJ. The scarJ wos llhe o

Cochetto Bird piched up the scorJ ond J[ew boch home with it.
