How quick Is sympathy 20 flow.
II is just the same way among
the little people OF the Green Mead.
ows and the Green Forest Sammy
Jay had gone over TO the dear Old
Brier Patch 10 have what he called
FUN" with Peter Rabbit. OF course
you know what he meant. He in-
tended 10 tease Peter and try to
make him angry, a pretty poor kind
OF FUN" but kind that a great
many people seem TO delight in, just
why | never could understand, But
the very instant that Sammy dis.
covered that Peter was sick he quite
forgot that he had come TO tease.
Right away he was full of sympathy.
Instead OF screaming as he usually
does he stole away softly so as not
TO disturb Peter and then few
straight up 10 Farmer Browns gar
den 10 see II he could find out
what had made Peter sick There
he discovered Old Mr. Toad grumb-
ling and quite out of sorts be-
cause Farmer Browns Boy had put
poison on the cabbage leaves 10 kill
the worms that were eating them,
You see he felt that Farmer Browns
Boy had interfered with his busi-
ness, which was 10 eat those worms.
This he couldn't do now because of
the poison When he heard that
Peter Rabbit had eaten some Of
those leaves and now was very sick
he knew right away that Peter had
been poisoned and he and Sammy
Jay shook their heads sadly AZ they
talked the matter over and hoped
that Peter hadn't eaten great
deal.
Now Old Mr.. Toad and Peter Rab-
BIT are the best OF friends and right
away he made mp his mind that he
must 20 down To the dear Old Briar
Patch and tell Peter how sorry he
was. II was long journey for Old
Mr.. Toad. but he didn't stop TO think
of that. lie Just made up his mind
that he would go down that very
night and he would start just as
soon as the Black Shadows began
TO creep out from the Purple Hills.
You know Old Mr.. Toad cannot
stand the heat Of Jolly, bright Mr..
Sun or he would have started at
once.
Sammy Jay few over to the Old
Orchard where he told Johnny
