He went out TO the edge of the woods
and broke smooth, beautiful twigs OF
birch bark, and wove them into a bas
ket. In the basket he put earth, and
filled It with the roots of ferns, and
long, trailing ground pine and fragrant
May flowers. When he got back to
his room he hung the basket in his
window. where the wind and sun might
make the flowers grow. Then he
picked more ground pine and festooned
1t in earlands all about his wall. When
ii was done II looked so lovely that
Peter could have shouted for JOY. He
felt he must tell some one. He ran
to the door and out into the hall. and
