because Sister South Wind had arrived

had come to prepare the way for her,
to melt the snow and ice and to wills

long winter through that it was time to

forgot all his trouble because his friends
and neighbors wouldn't believe the story
he had told them of the strange great
tracks he had found deep in the Green
Forest. In fact, he forgot all about those
tracks himself. There was too much
else to think about. The Green Forest
and the Green Meadows. and the Laugh

soon be waking up. and Peter just had
to be on hand to greet each of the sleep

been sometimes to got something to eat.
