WHEN Peter Rabbit asked Filter
the Bat if the reason he wheeled
and darted about in the air in such
a funny way was because he was chas-
ing insects, and if he got all his food
in the air, it was from more than
mere curiosity. It was from a real
desire to learn more about q neighbor
who he had known ever since he
could remember and yet of whom he
knew next to nothing. He long had
meant to ask Filter about himself
