had given up all hope of finding Mr..
Toad in there. The two holes which
had so puzzled him were still there.
And then Peter discovered something
that make him jump so that it is
wonder he didn't tumble into that pit
himself. What was it? 1t was an
other hole q little above and to one side
Of the highest of the first two, and lit
tie above and to one side of this was
another Yes, sir, there were two new
holes in the side of that pit-little holes
just like the first one. Do you wonder
that Peter stared very hard, then
rubbed his eyes and stared again?
There was no question about it, those
four holes were real. The day before
there had been only two, and the day
before that none at all. In his wonder
at and interest in those holes Peter
quite forgot all, about Old Mr.. Toad
and the mysterious way in which he had
disappeared. Who could have made
them and why? How did they get up
to those holes from the bottom or down
to them from the top? Peter re-
membered that once he had seen
similar holes made in sandbank by
members of the Swallow family, but
they couldn't have made those holes,
because it was too late in the summer !;
they were quite through nesting. Be-
sides, if they had made these, they
would be flying about and going in and
out of them. AS it was, there wasn't
sign of life in that pit.
Peters head began to ache from puz-
zling over the matter. / don't much
wonder, do you?
