Bedtime Stories

AS Peter Rabbit sat staring down
at the nest and eggs of Mrs. Meadow
Lark he noticed that the approach
to it was by means of regular
little tunnel of grass. 1t was one
of the cleverest things Peter ever
had seen. mo wonder I never have
been able to find Mrs. Meadow

Peter sat up and anxiously looked
this way and that way. Jimmy
Skunk was nowhere to be seen, and
Peter sighed with relief. Very care
fully he walked around that nest
and its little tunnel, then hurried
over toward the fence where Carol
the Meadow Lark sat.
It's perfectly beautiful, Carol"
he cried just as soon as he was near
enough. And I won't tell single
soul"
Il hope not! I certainly hope not"
cried Mrs Meadow Lark in an
anxious tone II never would have
another single easy minute If I
thought you would tell living soul
about my nest. Cross your heart,
Peter, and promise that you won't"
Peter promptly crossed his heart

single soul Mrs. Meadow Lark
seemed to feel better. Right away
she flew back and Peter turned to
watch her. She dropped down into
the grass, but it wasn't where he
had found the nest. With a puzzled
look on his face he turned to look
up at Carol. Carols eyes twinkled.
L know what you're thinking,
Peter" he chuckled. You're think
ing it is funny Mrs. Meadow Lark
didn't go straight back to our nest
when she seemed so anxious about
it. I would have you know she is
too clever to do anything so foolish
as that. She knows well enough
that somebody might see her and so

her disappear in the grass. That is
the way We always do when we 60

careful these days" Then once
more Carol began to pour out his
happiness quite as if nothing had
interrupted his song.
Carol the Meadow Lark Is hand
some fellow. AS Peter faced him
he saw a beautiful yellow throat
and waistcoat, with q broad black
crescent on the breast. There was
yellow line above each eye.
Carols back was of brown with
black markings. His sides were
whitish with spots and streaks of
black The outer edges of his tail
were white. He was far handsomer
than one would suspect seeing him
at a distance. Peter told him so.
and this seemed to please Carol
greatly.
