Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

When little Mrs Peter called Old
Mr.. Toad to one side out of hear
Ing OF Peter Rabbit. and told him
how Old Granny Fox had been
hanging around the OLD Brier Patch
nearly all day, and how she was
sure that Granny was doing it be-
cause she had heard that Peter
was sick and hoped to catch him
out after a bit of sweet clover, Mr.
Toad listened and nodded his head
as If he quite agreed with her But
when she told him about the young
Meadow Mouse which Granny had
caught and left at the entrance to
one of Peters private little paths
he gave Mrs. Peter funny, sidewise
look.
Huh" he grunted, Huh! I never
have known Old Granny Fox to
do anything like that. 1t must
be she has done it for a purpose
I think I will 60 where I can watch
her. and try to find out what she
Is hanging around here for. 1t
must be for something"
"Of course. it's for something. ANY
one with any wits at all would know
that, and that something is to try
to catch Peter" replied Mrs. Peter
and her voice sounded rather
snappy.
You see she was worried. She
knows just how sharp and cunning
Old Granny Fox is. and in her own
mind there wasn't doubt that this
was part of some clever plan on the
part OF Granny to catch Peter. For
the life of her she couldn't see
through it herself and she was dis
appointed because Old Mr.. Toad
didn't seem to have any better idea
than she had as to what Granny
Fox was doing.
Old Mr.. Toad took no notice of
the sharpness in little Mrs. Peter s
answer. "You better 90 stay with

of people who are humble and COM
monplace and homely as having no
cause for pride. That is mistake.
They often have just as much pride
as others who seem to be more
fortunate. Old Mr.. Toad had said
that he was going to watch Old
Granny Fox. His pride wouldn't
allow him to go back to Mrs. Peter
and confess he couldn't see over the
grass. At least he couldn't go back
until he had tried every way he
could think of to see over that grass.
How he did wish he could climb
like his cousin, Sticky-toes the Tree
Toad!
But he couldn't and he is alto
gether too sensible, is Old Mr.. Toad,
to waste any time on vain wishes.
He looked about, this way and that
way, to see If there might be some
thing he could get up on 50 as to
Evening star., 1943-07-02

Peer a while said he Il think I'll
60 watch Granny Fox and see what
! can find out
So Old Mr. Toad hoped along
one of Peters private little paths
and presently came to the edge of
the dear Old Brier Patch. Then he
discovered something which had
quite slipped his mind when he first
started. The grass of the Green
Meadows was so tall that he couldn't
see over it, You know he is very
squatty sort of person. Old Mr..
Toad looked quite e foolish as he
felt. He had come to watch Old
Granny Fox and now he couldn't
see her at all because the grass
was above his head.
Would you ever suspect Old Mr..
Toad of having pride? He doesn't
look AS if pride ever brothers him.
Somehow we are very apt to think
