so we'll that finally Peter gave up
trying to find II out and after a
while he quite forgot all about Mr..
and Mrs. Quack. You see II was
the beautiful springtime and there
was SO much going on In the Green

that Peter was busy every waking
minute trying to keep track of the
new arrivals from the sunny South
land, and OF what the earlier arriv.
