Such a disappointed Rabbit 1s Peter were given to crying he would have cried then. You see he had been so sure that he could get out that way that it hadn't entered his head that anything could stop him. Yes, indeed, 1t was a bitter disappoint- ment.
 But Peter didn't give up He dug a hole in another corner of the pen. The result was the same. Again he found that provoking wire. In turn he tried each of the other corners. Each time he was disappointed. Finally he dug a hole right in the middle of the pen. But he fared no better than before. Then he gave up. He was tired. His feet were sore. He was the most disappointed Rabbit In all the Great World. So he crept into the box In the corner. where he was quite out of sight and nobody could see. How very, very miserable he felti
 Peter couldn't understand this thing at all. Roots or stones in the way down underground he would have understood. He would have known what to do. He would have gnawed off roots and he would have dug around stones. But this thing that stopped him he could neither gnaw nor dig around. How 1t came to be underground he couldn't under stand
 Later in the day Farmer Browns Boy came for a look at Peter to see how he was getting along. At once he saw the holes Peter had dug. He chuckled. T thought as much" said he. "I knew just what you would do as soon as you were left alone. That is why I made this pen with a wire bottom and then filled it In part way with earth. can't afford to have such a mischievous scamp as you running about where you can get into my garden. You have done mis- chief enough there already. You will have to stay here until things in that garden have grown. don't want to keep you q prisoner, but I'll have to. Yes sir, I'll have to-"
 So Farmer Browns Boy put in some nice things for Peter to eat and once more left him. Peter didn't come out until after dark. He didn't like to be stared at by those hens in the kenyard. Then. too, he felt so badly that he wanted to keep out of sight. He had the feeling that somehow things might be different after dark. But they were not. He went all around that pen inch by inch, but everywhere he was met by that hate full wire. He was prisoner with no chance of escaping. Poor, disap- pointed Peter Rabbit
