Jerry Muskrat's Home
A blessed thing it is to feel Security about you steal.
 Peter Rabbit.

There was nothing the matter with the working of Peter Rabbits wits When he had hopped out from behind that lit the mouth of Old Man Coyote he had been as badly frightened as ever he had been in his whole life. Put even as his heart seemed to actually turn over with fright his eyes saw that hole in the ground right in front of Old Man Coyote only possible means of escape.
 He counted on the surprise it would be to old Man Coyote to have hm jump right toward him as if he were so scared he didn't know where he was going As he dived in that hole he heard the snap of old Man Coyotes jaws so close that he shivered. But once inside that hole Peter speedily forgot his fright. Perhaps should say he speedily got over it. Something else took it's place. Can you guess what it was? It was curiosity. Of course Peter wouldn't be Peter if he didn't become curious the minute he found himself in a strange place.
 As soon as he was sure that Old Man Coyote didn't intend to try to dig him out Peter stopped worrying and began to wonder whose house he was in. u might be deserted house but thef was something about 1t, feeling, ha would have said, that nsade him sure that it was not deserted Then the dread- ful thought that whoever owned thai house might be at home and drive him out popped into his head. A familiar scent tickled his wobbly little pose. He snisfed and sniffed. There coudl be no mistake about 1t; that was the scent oi musk.
 "rm in one of Jerry Muskrat s homes" thought Peter. and felt relieved. Jerry won't drive me out after warning me the way he did l knew Jerry had rouse in the bank of the Laughing Brook. as we'll as his house out in the Smiling Pool and this must be it. l ve always wanted to see the inside of one oi Jerry's homes and this is my chance
 So while outside Old Man Coyote pat jentlv waited and watched inside Peter Rabbit began to explore. He found that he was in short hall that led to long hall. Peter turned to the right in this long hall and a few steps brought him to a snug bedroom It wasn't deep down in the ground like Johnny Chucks bed room. The fact is it was only little below the surface, it was very nice bedroom, very nice indeed. Peter de- cided that when he had seen the resi- or JeffyS nome ne Woulu Couies pdCh there for nap
 Once more out in the long hall Peter started to see where it led He passed the little side hall by which he had an tered. The long hall slanted down an6 the walls became very damp. Presently the hall branched. Peter kept in what seemed to be the main branch. Tn. dampness became wetness. The flool grew muddy, If was very unplea sani down there Suddenly Peter understood That hall kept leading down. It must lead Tight down below water. Ol

course It was the way Jerry entered from the Laughing Brook, The doorway must be in the bank somewhere be- low water. Many times had he seen Jef ry dive and not come up again for q long time. He must have entered thls house by means of this very hall.
 We'll" mnttered Peter, q guess there is no way out of here for me but the way I came in. l think I'll go back to that nice little bedroom and take nap while l wait for old Man Coyote to get tired of watching, if he is watching"
