Peter is right about that. He isn't much o! a grumbler himself. Ho is too hapPY-so-lucky (or that. But he has lived long enough. and been about‘ enough. to know that there are People who, given every- thing in the world that they want- ed. would ‘still grumblq because they couldn't think o! anything more to want. It is because ihBY enjoy grumbling. Prickly Porky the Porcupine, in the darkness oi the iar end of the big hollow log which he called home. and which you probably would have called ills demo was grumbling. Peter Rabbit, squatting just inside the open end of the old log where lie had sought saieti’ irom Hooty the Owl, listened un- easily. "It is a pity when an honest Porcupine can't sleep in peace in his owmhome ‘without having an unlnvitedg-uest come in just as ii he belonged here." "grumbled Prickly Porky. "But I didn't know you were living here. I didn't know anybody was living here. Anyway‘. I just. had to dive in here or be caught by l-looty the Owl.

Just knowing that some one who has no business to be in my house is here bothers me. I don't want company. I don't like company. I want to be alone." grumbled Prickly Porky. Then lie decided that he was hun- gry and would g0 outside to get something to eat. He began to stir- and the little spears called quills, hidden in his coat, began to rustle. To Peter they seemed almost to rattle. The sound made him shiver and ilzake. 1i Prickly Porky in- sisted on going out he would have to go out too. ior there wasn't room ior Prickly Porky to pass him, no matter how small he might try to make himself. And waiting out- side was Hooiy the Owl. Or was '18? Peter wished he knew. He hoped Prickly Porky would change his mind and decide not to go out. Oh. how he hoped it. "You'll have to get out oi that doorway," grumbled Prickly Porky. "I'm nirald to go out," “him- pcred Petel". “You wouldn't have to ii you hadn't come in. Never go where you arc not wanted. It will keep you out of n lot oi trouble." grunted Prickly Porky. 1t seemed to Peter that those dreadful little spears nistled more than ever. He Was sure that never in his lite had lie heard a more unpleasant sound. “Youre in my way," grumbled Prickly Porky. He was very near new. Peter was in despair. He would have to trust to his long heels to take him to some other place of safety. Perhaps ii he leaped out suddenly and ran his fastest he could susrprlse Hooty ‘and reach shelter beneath some low- growing hemlock bougiis, "Go on. Get out oi my way," grumbled Prickly Porky. Peter knew that he couldn't vlalt any longer. He prepared to nuke a Ions lump out. at that Very instant he heard a sound that changed everything. Never in all his liie had he hoard a more wel- come sound. No. sir. he never had. And "w funny thing about it. was that it was the very sound that had made him shiver and shake when he had last heard it. It was the voice 0t Hooty the Owl, but. this time it; was ialnt in the dig- tance. 0t course that meant that there was nothing ior him to {ear irom Hooty now. The thousand little spears were rustling close behind him. Peter didn't mind them. He didn't mind them at all. They no longer made him shiver and shake. He didn't leap out and run ior the b ‘ oi the hemlock boughs; he how“ out without Iiunylng, and moved a little to one side. He turned to watch Prickly Porkycomg out, ‘I can't sleep when I'm hungry, and I can't sea why I should be him!!!’ when I want to sleep. 1 illlwose I must climb a tree i! 1 want to‘ elt. and that's l bother.
