". BURGESS

there were two of me. mean, wish
I could be in two places at the same
time. I wish could be here and there.
But II I'm here / can't be there and
If I'm there can't be here. II could
run as fast as Mrs. Wood Duck can fly
I might be able to do 1t. want to
see her take all of those babies out
of that hole, but want to see her hide
them all at the pond Of Paddy the
Beaver and can't do it. Oh dear, I
wish were two instead Of oneP
Peter was quite undecided whether
to remain where he was or to be salts
fled with what he had seen there and
go over to the pond and see where Mrs.
Wood Duck was leaving her babies. He
was still thinking about It, still unde-
cided, when again Mrs. Wood Duck took
a baby in her bill and few away with It..
IF go over there may not be able
to find Them" thought Peter, and I'll
miss out both ways. guess I'll stay
right here and see her carry the last
one. Then I'll go over there to Paddy'S
pond. I'll probably have more chance
Of finding them"
This was very sensible Of Peter. He
tried to keep count as MRS. Wood Duck
came and went, but 1t wasn't long be-
fore he was all mixed up. II won't know
when she gets the last one" said he
forlornly. Hello! She isn't taking this
one in her bill. It must be she isn't
taking any this time. I wonder II it
can be that she has them all over to
the water and has just come back to
make sure"
Mrs. Wood Duck left the tree with
her usual swift flight. And then Peter
saw something that made him rejoice
that he had stayed right where he was.
It was q Duckling peeping out Of the
hole Mrs. Wood Duck had just left. A
few moments later Mrs. Wood Duck was
back. This time she didn't enter the
hole. but chung to the edge of it, and
that Duckling scrambled right up on
her back. And away she went! And
Peter knew then that she must have
carried one in the same way on her
previous trip, for he had seen none in
her bill.

It certainly was a queer sight that
Peter Rabbit saw. When he got home
to the dear Old Briar Patch he told Mrs.
Peter that it was the Queerest sight he
had ever seen or ever expected to see.
Probably he will say the same thing
the next queer sight he sees. But 1t was
queer, there's no denying that.
Peter was in his favorite place under
. certain little hemlock tree, where he
was quite hidden himself, but could
watch the home of the Wood Ducks
This was, as you know, hole high
up in the dead tree. Peter at the time
morning and Peter had been out and
about most Of the night. He awoke
fully. however, when he saw Mrs. Wood
Duck poke her head out of that hole
and look sharply this way and that.
Then her head was withdrawn. Peter
had just started to yawn when that
head reappeared, and this time there
was something in the bill.
Gracious" exclaimed Peter under
his breath, and his eyes were very wide
open indeed. What do you think was
in that bill? A Duckling! Yes, sir, Mrs.
Wood Duck was holding one Of her
babies in her bill. In a twinkling she
was out Of that hole and away she shot
straight OF toward the pond of Paddy
the Beaver. "Gracious!" exclaimed
Peter again. did see that or did
dream It? I wonder II she'll take any
more that way"
Peter didn't wonder very long. In
surprisingly short time Mrs. Wood Duck
was back and had disappeared in that
hole way up in the dead tree. She was
working fast, was Mrs. Wood Duck, for
it seemed to Peter that hardly had her
tail disappeared in that hole when her
head appeared coming out and in her
bill was another Duckling. Away she
whirred on stout wings and again dis
appeared in the direction of the pond
Of Paddy the Beaver.
