Side in Debate.

Peter and the Hunter Are
Close Together.

1t was a smart dog who was chasing
Peter Rabbit. There was no question
about that. Even Peter himself ad-
mitted it. and you know Peter is rather
inclined to think that dogs are very
easy to fool: in fact, that they are not
smart at ALL But this one wasn't
easy to fool. Peter had tried every
one Of the common tricks and not one
of them had bothered that dog for
more than few minutes. 1t was clear
that he knew a great deal about rab-
bits and their ways.
Peter wouldn't have minded this par
ticuiarly if the dog had been alone, but
when Peter found that a hunter with
dreadful gun was looking for him
and was standing where he could shoot
Peter if he should try to run to the
dear Old Briar Patch. why then Peter
did begin to get little worried. 1t
was very clear that he must get rid
Of that dog somehow. Without the dog
the hunter never could find him, never
in the wide world
So Peter ran a little harder than
before. lipperty lipperty- y-lipperty-lip.
just like that. And the dog, running
with his nose in Peters tracks, made
the Green Forest ring with his voice.
"Bow-ow w-ow-wow just like
that. Peter ran in a big circle, and he
ran SO fast that he almost caught up
with that dog. If you could have look
ed down from the blue, blue sky and
seen them as jolly bright Mr.. Sun did,
you would have thought that Peter
was chasing the dog instead of the dog
chasing Peter.
When he had almost caught up with
the dog, Peter ran off to one side in

very fast. Then he turned around and
ran straight back in his own tracks
almost to where he had turned off and
there he did a most surprising thing.
That is. it would have been surprising
to any one who didn't know Peter and
his tricks. He leaped off to one side.
making just the longest leap he pos
sibly could SO that there was a long
