Peter Rabbit watched Jerry Muskrat until he had his landing in the rushes near the head of the Smiling Pool completed. Then as Peter watched Jerry sitting on that little landing resting and eating 8 piece of fagroot, he began to grow envious. Yes, sir. he began to grow envious. 1t seemed to Peter that Jerry had everything that any One could desire, Finally he said so right out,
 "You sound as if you are envi- ous" said Jerry between bites.
 q am," admitted Peter very frankly,
 "Just what do you envy me-" inquired Jerry.
 q envy you your safety" replied Peter. Here I have 10 always be watching out for enemies and you don't have 10 watch out at all"
 "Is that so?" exclaimed Jerry. T want to know. Peter, how under the sun do you get that way? Supposing you tell me what enemies you have to watch out for"
 "Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote, '' replied Peter promptly
 q never go ashore without having to watch out for those two fellows, replied Jerry GO on, Peter"
 "Hooty the Owl at night, and some of the big members of the Hawk family in the daytime" ," said Peter.
 They keep me looking up in the air just as much as they do you Peter Rabbit" declared Jerry.
 "Shadow the Weasel and hunters with terrible guns" continued peter.
 Again Jerry nodded. T have tc watch out for both" said he though probably Shadow the Wea' sel is more dangerous to you than to me. But hunters with terrible guns are not the only two-legged creatures have 10 be watching out for all the time. There are those others who set dreadful traps. Sr you see, Peter, I am no better oA than you are when 1t comes to enc mics"

 Who are they" demanded Peter.

 Peter looked as surprised as h. felt and that was very much sur prised indeed. T thought that Litt' Joe Otter and Billy Mink were friends of yours" he said,
 Tt all depends on how hungr! they are and how scarce food is, replied Jerry, Little Joe Otter can get away from in my burrows but Billy Mink can follow m wherever I can go. Are you still en vious, Peter?"
