until there was no danger of Jimmy
seeing that beetle when he did move.
And to change the subject, and also
because it was the real reason for his
being there anyway, Peter asked
Jimmy to tell him how he could learn
to jump as Jimmy did. Jimmy turned
his head SO that Peter shouldn't see
him smile. 1t tickled him almost to
pieces to think that foolish Peter
should have the least idea that he
Jimmy. jumped. When he turned his
face back toward Peter there wasn't a
trace of a smile as he replied:
Il am afraid 1 can't tell you how you
can learn to jump as I do. Peter, but
I'll be very glad to show you just how
do it,
That will be perfectly splendid
cried Peter, clapping his hands. IF 1
see just how you do it perhaps I can
do it myself"
Timmy's eyes twinkled as he said:
Its really very simple. The first thing
is to climb to the top of tree or tall
stump or other high place"
But L cannot climb trees!" cried
Peter.
Timmy's eyes twinkled more than
ever. Then you pick out the place
you want to jump to and just jump
as hard as ever you can, and the
higher the place you jump from the
farther you can jump" said Jimmy.
Inc very second you jump you
spread yourself out fiat, with your
arms and legs stretched just as far
as you can stretch them" he contfn-
ued. his eyes twinkling more than ever
Peter nodded that he understood, and
Jimmy went on:
While you are in the air you use
your tail to balance you and keep from
turning over. 1t is very important to
know how to use your tail"
Peter thought of the funny little
bunch of white hair which he calls his
tail. and his heart went way down
How could he ever learn to jump as
Jimmy did when he had no more of
tail than that?
Now I'll show you just how it's
done said Jimmy. He ran along the
log he had been sitting on. leaped
across to the nearest tree, scampered
up to the top. and jumped. Peter saw
him sail overhead. a shadow in the
moonlight. and then he disappeared in
the blacker shadows of the trees
Peter still stared in the direction in
which Jimmy had disappeared. and
even while he looked he saw Jimmy
come sliding down through the moon
light AS lightly a feather Jimmy
landed on the log just where he had
been sitting before.
You see how easy it is. 1t really is
very simple" said he.
