Bedtime Stories

Were you ever too surprised to
feel surprised? When one surprise
follows on top OF previous surprise
ana another on top of that, and so
on, it is sometimes hard to know
how one does feel. Peter Rabbits
first surprise had been the finding
Of the big pit dug by Farmer Browns
Boy in a far corner of the garden.
Then he had discovered Old Mr..
Toad at the bottom: so far as Peter
could see. a hopeless prisoner Then
Old Mr.. Toad had disappeared, and
this was a very great mystery and
most surprising thing. While he
was still puzzling over this, Peter
discovered two holes in the smooth.
straight sides of the pit, but no signs
of the one who had made them.
The next day there were two more
holes little higher up. and still
Peter was as much in the dark as
ever as to who had made them.
Some one had made them. That
was fact that no one could deny.
There they were for any one to see,
and on the bottom of the pit under
meath each one was a tiny heap of
sand which had been dug out Of the
hole above. These holes were quite
as surprising and as much a mystery
as Old Mr.. Tosd's disappearance

pit himself. Who could it be? He
