patch, where Peter Rabbit lives, and
this is how it happens that early that
morning as he sat on his doorstep with

long ears pop up out OF the grass along

face of Peter Rabbit. Johnny Chuck
was glad to see Peter once more, and
he tried to smile. too. but 1T is hard to
smile with a heavy heart. Peter Eab-

the matter He stopped smiling and
hurried over to sit beside Johnny Chuck
on the doorstep.

Rabbit.
And Johnny Chuck did. He poured
out all his trouble while Peter listened
gravely.
