Mink and Jerry Muskrat are the only
ones who know much about Little Joe
otter, and even they do not know as
much as they might, or as they think
they do.
Peter Rabbit had missed Little Joe
otter In the Smiling Pool lie had
asked Jerry Muskrat and Billy Mink
where Little Joe was.
oh replied Jerry Muskrat he Is
probably on one Of his foolish long
Journeys. What any one wants to
leave the Smiling Pool for Is more
than can understand. Probably II

Peter grinned. 'I'm sure | don't
