As a result he cried:
"Ouch! It's hot!"
"Be careful!" cautioned his mother, and after that Bunny was careful.

Soon two more ears were roasted, and these Mr. and Mrs. Brown took. They
waited a bit for them to cool, and then began to eat slowly.
"They are delicious," said Mrs. Brown.
"This is the only way to cook green corn," remarked Uncle Tad.
"It's the best I've eaten since I was a boy," declared Mr. Brown. "We
shall have to have some more, Tom."
"Yes, I'll cook some more for you. Parched corn is good, too. The
Indians like that. You have to wait until the ears are nearly ripe for
that, though, and the kernels dried."
"Aren't you going to eat any, Tom?" Bunny asked, as he took the ear the
bigger boy handed him.
"Oh, yes, I'll have some now, if you've had all you want."
"Well, maybe I'll eat more," said Bunny.
"And I want another," put in Sue.
"There's plenty here," said Tom, as he began to eat.
