 Meanwhile he told everybody he met that If all went well he would be eating carrots some day. And when his friends learned that he planned to go on an excursion to Farmer Greens garden patch. there wasn't one of them that didn't say he would like to go too.
 Jimmy Rabbit said he really ought to have a look at the cabbages. And if Nimble didn't mind he thought il would be pleasant to join the party Fatty Coon remarked that there were certain matters connected with corn which he must attend to. And ii there was no objection he would go along with the rest, when the time came for the excursion. Even Cuffy Bear, who almost never went near the farm buildings, declared that there was nothing he would enjoy more than to make the trip with Nimble and his mother. He had once tasted baked beans. And ever since that oc- casion he had meant to see if he couldn't find some around Farmer Greens house.
 Of course it would have been awk- ward to say no. So Nimble said yes to everybody. He even promised that he would let all his friends know when the excursion should take place.
 But of all these things he said not hie ,nt sure that they would please her. In fact he was sure that they wouldn't. (Copyrisht 1922 by The Metropolitan

 to his mother, Cant we go down to
 Farmer Greens garden patch to-
 night? If we wait much longer some-
 body else will eat all the carrots be- fore we get a taste of them" Or maybe he would exclaim, Lets have some carrots for supper! Please!" If was no wonder that Nimble's mother grew very tired of his teas ing. At last she said to him, when he was urging her to take him down the hill and across the meadow to Farmer Greens vegetable garden, There's no sense in our going down there now. The carrots aren't big enough yet They aren't ready to eat.
 But lateJ, if you show you're trust-

 start quickly and run fast, perhaps I'll see that you have your first meal

 Well, there were so many ifs ir his mothers promise that Nimble almost gave up hope of ever getting 1 to Farmer Greens garden patch. At
 least he didn't quite dare expect that
 his mother would take him there
 with her. But be made up his mind that, if she didn't, he would go on a
 carrot hunt alone as soon as he could. At the same time he practised
 minding his mother. which was not always a pleasing thing to do. And he
 practised starting and running, both
 of which were 8 good deal of fun. As for growing, Nimble did not need to
