"No thank you!" said he. "Well - yes, that is not unless you can help me to get my Girabbit out of the house?"

"Certainly!" they said. "Delighted - but not for nothing!"

"Certainly not," said he, "I will remember you."

So they came in and shouted up to the Girabbit that they were going to start eating at his tail and work upwards, if he didn't come down and out immediate.

Of course he drew in his neck immediate - in a fine flurry of soot and plaster - but when he looked into the dining-room and saw (he could see very close to) what looked like bears, and what smelt like bears he took such a fright that he jumped bang through the window.

In two more jumps he was over the hedge and in the road.
