Peter chuckled. "He would have taken you all right i! you Mil given him the chance. Why didn't you?" said he.

“l-ie grinned,“ was the simple reply.

Again Peter chuckled. "And W" saw his bu; sharp teeth," said he.

HO had a feeling that danger might be lurk- ing behind each o! those trees, and the fact that Peter didn't seem airald didn't help much. He wished he were back in the pen in Farmer Brown's dooryard, but; he didn't even know the way back. He was a scared Rabbit. Yes, sir, he was s. scared Rabbit, the more scared because he didn't know what he was scared oi.
