Danny always were safely inside the dear
old brier patch and always on the watch
for Granny and Reddy Fox.
Il tell you what it is, Reddy, we must

at the heels of Old Granny Fox, for they
wanted to surprise Peter Rabbit. And
safe in the dear old brier patch Peter

and capped both hands over his mouth
to keep from laughing aloud as he
watched.
Along one edge of the Old brier path
stole old Granny Fox and Reddy Fox,
their minds full OF Peter Rabbit. Along
the opposite edge of the old brier patch
stole Farmer Browns boy and Bowser
the Hound. their minds full of Peter
