"Because I wanted to know, and the best. way to find out about things is to ask questions. Folks who never ask questions never learn much." said Peter.

"That. is just curiosity." declar- ed little Mrs. Hummer. and dart- ed away.

When she returned Peter was sure she had something in the tip of that long bill of hers. but he couldn't see just what. She settled herself in the nest, leaned over for A moment and was very busy. What was she doing? Peter could- n't see. That neat was,too far a- bove him dor him to see cleaily. He stretched up its for as he could but still he couldn't see what Mrs.
