What Peter Rabbit Did Do.

Peter Rabbit.
Longlegs the Heron was getting
nearer and nearer to Grandfather
Frog and still Grandfather Frog sat
on the big green lily pad close to the
shore and led the Frog chorus. "Chug-
arum. chug-arum. chug- -arum. chug-
arum." as If there wasn't such a
thing as danger in all the Great
World. 1 suppose grandfather Frog
thought he was singing. / suspect he
would have called 1t that. But to
Peter Rabbit. sitting on the bank. he
was merely shouting in that great.
deep. gruff voice of his. But whether
singing or shouting, he was enjoying
1t. was Grandfather Frog.
Peter kept hoping that Grandfather
Frog would turn his head and see
Longlegs the Heron. But when he
did stop it was only for a minute, and
then merely to listen to the other
Frogs all around the Smiling Pool.
Not one of them had such a great.
deep voice as his. Grandfather Frog
was very proud of that voice. Peter
couldn't help thinking that 1t would
have been better. much better, to have
been less proud of his voice and more
watchful Of his safety.
The eyes of Lonelegs the Heron
cleaned with hunger. Grandfather
Frog was SO big that he would make
al whole meal. There would be no
need Of any more hunting that night.
Just a few more careful steps and ne
would be near enough to strike with
that long. sharp bill. Then he would
not only have that good dinner. but
he would settle an old grudge. You
see, for three years he had been try
ing to catch Grandfather Frog. and
FOE three years Grandfather Frog had
been too smart for him. Moreover,

Grandfather Frog had many. many
times spoiled the hunting OF Long

What ails Grandfather Frog?' NUT
tered Peter to himself. He must be
getting careless or foolish in his old
age. He ought to know better than to
sit so near the shore. in two more

strike. 1 hate to spoil the hunting or
Longlegs. but 1 can't bear to think
of the Smiling Pool without Old

hear that great. deep voice of his way

This was addressed to Grandfather
Frog, but Peter said it under his

he didn't turn. Longlegs took one
more careful step and Peter could
see him draw his head back for the
swift stroke that he would take with
the next step. He knew just how that
long neck would shoot out like a
ffiash. If Grandfather Frog didn't
jump in about two seconds 1t would
be too late.

"Chug-" He didn't finish. You see.
just then LongIegs had started to
take that last careful step and Peter
Rabbit had thumped the ground with
all his might. 1t was very loud
thump. Peter had meant 1t to be; 1t
had startled Grandfather Frog SO
that he had cut short that chue-arum
right in the middle and had dived
headlong into the water without even
looking to see what had frightened
him. He learned when he was very
young that this Is always the safest
thing to do Safety for him lies down
in the mud at the bottom Of the Smil-
ing Pool, and it is always best to seek
safety first and inquire later what the
danger is.
