BE very sure that soon or late
You'll wish that you had answer

Just ask Peter Rabbit II this isn't
so. IL he answers truthfully, and
he will answer truthfully II he an
swers at all. he will tell you that
IL is. The probability is that Peter
will try to change the subject. It
isn't at all a pleasant one TO him.
He Is forever crawling out Of
scrapes that he has jumped into,
all because he hasn't been able 10
say mo" when he has been tempted.
II Is a lot easier TO Jump into
trouble than TO crawl out OF t..
But II you don't do the former you
won't have TO do the latter.
Now, when Peter Rabbit left the
Garden OF Farmer Brown that night
after sampling lettuce and carrot
tops and beans and cabbage TO his
hearts content. and little more
than the content OF his stomach, he

into no trouble. and so far az he
could see. he was not likely TO get
into any trouble on the way back.
Reddy Fox was still over In the Old
Pasture trying to get rid OF the
dreadful perfume Jimmy Skunk had
thrown on him. Old Granny Fox
was nowhere to be seen, and neither
was Old Man Coyote. He had just
heard Hooty the Owl boot way over
in the Green Forest and Bowser the
Hound bark up in Farmer Browns
dooryard. So the way back to the
dear Old Brier Patch was clear and
there was no need Of hurrying.
