"What tune?" Buster b.u.mblebee asked him. "I must say I don't know what you're talking about."
"Why, _The b.u.mblebee in the Pumpkin_!" Jimmy Rabbit informed him. "That's the name of a tune. Every good fiddler knows it. And since the buzzing sound comes out of the fiddle, the b.u.mblebee must be inside it, of course."
For a moment Buster looked almost peevish. He had intended to take Jimmy Rabbit down a peg by telling him he had been mistaken. And here was Jimmy Rabbit, explaining every strange thing, just as he always did! It was most annoying--so Buster thought. But all at once a comforting idea popped into his head.
"Old dog Spot was wrong, wasn't he?" Buster cried.
"He certainly was," Jimmy Rabbit replied.
"Ha! ha!" laughed Buster b.u.mblebee. "Isn't it odd how stupid some people are?"
"It certainly is!" said Jimmy Rabbit. And for some unknown reason he laughed harder than ever before.
But Buster b.u.mblebee did not mind that in the least. He thought that Jimmy Rabbit was making game of old dog Spot.
