Jimmy Coon was running along the
banks of Mirror Pond and called to
Sammy Muskrat, who sat on q rock
eating a fresh water clam: Hello,
Sammy! Come on and go out for a
frolic tonight with me-" "All right,
Jimmy" called out Sammy Muskrat,
I'll go. But wait a minute until I
run into the house and get my new
brown sweater"
And in a jiffy tho two scamps
started off for a nights adventure.
Where are you two rascals going
tonight?" called out Peter Rabbit as
they passed his house. And Jimmy
Coon called back: We're going after
milk; you like milk. Peter Rabbit, SO
come with U.S."
And Peter ran after them. and soon
they came to the edge of the Great
Woods. ------ =
It was moonlight, and they saw the
COWS Of Farmer Jones in the old pas
ture. And Peters big. yes sparkled,
and he cried: Jimmy. how do you
get the milk from the cows? Will
you hold a COW while I help myself
to some milk?"
And Jimmy Coon and Sammy
Muskrat fell down and rolled over

nights from those old cows?"
And Peter Rabbit looked very
sheepish. When they reached the
cornneld Jimmy exclaimed: Peter
Jest and sweetest milk you eve
tasted, even better milk than you had
when you were a baby; SO help your
SELF" So
And Peter Rabbits big ayes rolled
about and seemed about t. pop out
Of his little head, and he stammered:

There is not a drop Of milk in this
whole field; and there is not q COW or
goat in sight in this c%ornheld." "a"
Well, you come. Peter Rabbit"

tasted since you were an infant in

mouth In wonder as he saw jimmy
Coon pull down a stalk Of growing
corn and pull the husks from the ear.
and begin to bite off the green corn.
The corn was SO juicy and sweet
that little streams Of fresh milk IN
down both sides Of Jimmy's . mouth.
And Peter tried to do the same. but
he didn't know the trick.

seem to like 1t as we'll as Jimmy did-
