On the third day the squirrels got up very early and went fishing�察�they caught seven fat minnows as a present for Old Brown。

They paddled over the lake and landed under a crooked chestnut tree on Owl Island。


Twinkleberry and six other little squirrels each carried a fat minnow�察�but Nutkin�察�who had no nice manners�察�brought no present at all。 He ran in front�察�singing

     ;The man in the wilderness said to me�察      �How may strawberries grow in the sea��'      I answered him as I thought good      `As many red herrings as grow in the wood。;'


But old Mr。 Brown took no interest in riddlesnot even when the answer was provided for him。

On the fourth day the squirrels brought a present of six fat beetles�察�which were as good as plums in PLUM´PUDDING for Old Brown。 Each beetle was wrapped up carefully in a dockleaf�察�fastened with a pine´needle´ pin。

But Nutkin sang as rudely as ever

     ;Old Mr。 B� �riddle´me´ree�      �Flour of England�察�fruit of Spain�察     �Met together in a shower of rain�察     �Put in a bag tied round with a string�察     �If you'll tell me this riddle�察     �I'll give you a ring� �


Which was ridiculous of Nutkin�察�because he had not got any ring to give to Old Brown。

The other squirrels hunted up and down the nut bushes�察�but Nutkin gathered robin's pin´cushions off a briar bush�察�and stuck them full of pine´needle´pins。


On the fifth day the squirrels brought a present of wild honey�察�it was so sweet and sticky that they licked their fingers as they put it down upon the stone。 They had stolen it out of a bumble BEES' nest on the tippity top of the hill。

But Nutkin skipped up and down�察�singing

     ;Hum´a´bum� �buzz� �buzz� �Hum´a´bum buzz�           �As I went over Tipple´tine           I met a flock of bonny swine�察     �Some yellow´nacked�察�some yellow backed�           �They were the very bonniest swine           That e'er went over the Tipple´tine。;


Old Mr。 Brown turned up his eyes in disgust at the impertinence of Nutkin。

But he ate up the honey��

The squirrels filled their little sacks with nuts。

But Nutkin sat upon a big flat rock�察�and played ninepins with a crab apple and green fir´cones。


On the sixth day�察�which was Saturday�察�the squirrels came again for the last time�察�they brought a new´laid EGG in a little rush basket as a last parting present for Old Brown。

But Nutkin ran in front laughing�察�and shouting

     ;Humpty Dumpty lies in the beck�察     �With a white counterpane round his neck�察     �Forty doctors and forty wrights�察     �Cannot put Humpty Dumpty to rights� �


Now old Mr。 Brown took an interest in eggs�察�he opened one eye and shut it again。 But still he did not speak。

Nutkin became more and more impertinent

     ;Old Mr。 B� �Old Mr。 B�      �Hickamore�察�Hackamore�察�on the King's           kitchen door�察     �All the King's horses�察�and all the King's men�察     �Couldn't drive Hickamore�察�Hackamore�察     �Off the King's kitchen door� �


Nutkin danced up and down like a SUNBEAM�察�but still Old Brown said nothing at all。

Nutkin began again

     ;Authur O'Bower has broken his band�察     �He comes roaring up the land�      �The King of Scots with all his power�察     �Cannot turn Arthur of the Bower� �


Nutkin made a whirring noise to sound like the WIND�察�and he took a running jump right onto the head of Old Brown�  � 。 。

Then all at once there was a flutterment and a scufflement and a loud ;Squeak� �

The other squirrels scuttered away into the bushes。

When they came back very cautiously�察�peeping round the tree there was Old Brown sitting on his door´step�察�quite still�察�with his eyes closed�察�as if nothing had happened。

 * * * * * * * *

BUT NUTKIN WAS IN HIS WAISTCOAT POCKET��

This looks like the end of the story�察�but it isn't。


Old Brown carried Nutkin into his house�察�and held him up by the tail�察�intending to skin him�察�but Nutkin pulled so very hard that his tail broke in two�察�and he dashed up the staircase�察�and escaped out of the attic window。

And to this day�察�if you meet Nutkin up a tree and ask him a riddle�察�he will throw sticks at you�察�and stamp his feet and scold�察�and shout

;Cuck´cuck´cuck´cur´r´r´cuck´k� �




THE TALE OF BENJAMIN BUNNY


��For the Children of Sawrey from Old Mr。 Bunny��




One morning a little rabbit sat on a bank。

He pricked his ears and listened to the trit´trot�察�trit´trot of a pony。

A gig was coming along the road�察�it was driven by Mr。 McGregor�察�and beside him sat Mrs。 McGregor in her best bonnet。

As soon as they had passed�察�little Benjamin Bunny slid down into the road�察�and set offwith a hop�察�skip�察�and a jumpto call upon his relations�察�who lived in the wood at the back of Mr。 McGregor's garden。

That wood was full of rabbit holes�察�and in the neatest�察�sandiest hole of all lived Benjamin's aunt and his cousinsFlopsy�察�Mopsy�察�Cotton´tail�察�and Peter。

Old Mrs。 Rabbit was a widow�察�she earned her living by knitting rabbit´wool mittens and muffatees ��I once bought a pair at a bazaar��。 She also sold herbs�察�and rosemary tea�察�and rabbit´tobacco ��which is what we call lavender��。


Little Benjamin did not very much want to see his Aunt。

He came round the back of the fir´ tree�察�and nearly tumbled upon the top of his Cousin Peter。

Peter was sitting by himself。 He looked poorly�察�and was dressed in a red cotton pocket´handkerchief。

;Peter�察─�said little Benjamin�察�in a whisper�察 �who has got your clothes�拭�

Peter replied�察 �The scarecrow in Mr。 McGregor's garden�察─�and described how he had been chased about the garden�察�and had dropped his shoes and coat。

Little Benjamin sat down beside his cousin and assured him that Mr。 McGregor had gone out in a gig�察�and Mrs。 McGregor also�察�and certainly for the day�察�because she was wearing her best bonnet。


Peter said he hoped that it would rain。

At this point old Mrs。 Rabbit's voice was heard inside the rabbit hole�察�calling�此 �Cotton´tail� �Cotton´tail� �fetch some more camomile� �

Peter said he thought he might feel better if he went for a walk。

They went away hand in hand�察�and got upon the flat top of the wall at the bottom of the wood。 From here they looked down into Mr。 McGregor's garden。 Peter's coat and shoes were plainly to be seen upon the scarecrow�察�topped with an old tam´o'´shanter of Mr。 McGregor's。

Little Benjamin said�此 �It spoils people's clothes to squeeze under a gate�察�the proper way to get in is to climb down a pear´tree。;

Peter fell down head first�察�but it was of no consequence�察�as the bed below was newly raked and quite soft。

It had been sown with lettuces。

They left a great many odd little footmarks all over the bed�察�especially little Benjamin�察�who was wearing clogs。

Little Benjamin said that the first thing to be done was to get back Peter's clothes�察�in order that they might be able to use the pocket´ handkerchief。

They took them off the scarecrow。 There had been rain during the night�察�there was water in the shoes�察�and the coat was somewhat shrunk。

Benjamin tried on the tam´o'´ shanter�察�but it was too big for him。

Then he suggested that they should fill the pocket´handkerchief with onions�察�as a little present for his Aunt。

Peter did not seem to be enjoying himself�察�he kept hearing noises。


Benjamin�察�on the contrary�察�was perfectly at home�察�and ate a lettuce leaf。 He said that he was in the habit of coming to the garden with his father to get lettuces for their Sunday dinner。

��The name of little Benjamin's papa was old Mr。 Benjamin Bunny。��

The lettuces certainly were very fine。

Peter did not eat anything�察�he said he should like to go home。 Presently he dropped half the onions。

Little Benjamin said that it was not possible to get back up the pear´tree with a load of vegetables。 He led the way boldly towards the other end of the garden。 They went along a little walk on planks�察�under a sunny�察�red brick wall。


The mice sat on their doorsteps cracking cherry´stones�察�they winked at Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin Bunny。

Presently Peter let the pocket´ handkerchief go again。

They got amongst flower´pots�察�and frames�察�and tubs。 Peter heard noises worse than ever�察�his eyes were as big as lolly´pops��

He was a step or two in front of his cousin when he suddenly stopped。

This is what those little rabbits saw round that corner��

Little Benjamin took one look�察�and then�察�in half a minute less than no time�察�he hid himself and Peter and the onions underneath a large basket。 。 。 。


The cat got up and stretched herself�察�and came and sniffed at the basket。

Perhaps she liked the smell of onions��

Anyway�察�she sat down upon the top of the basket。

She sat there for FIVE HOURS。

I cannot draw you a picture of Peter and Benjamin underneath the basket�察�because it was quite dark�察�and because the smell of onions was fearful�察�it made Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin cry。

The sun got round behind the wood�察�and it was quite late in the afternoon�察�but still the cat sat upon the basket。

At length there was a pitter´patter�察�pitter´patter�察�and some bits of mortar fell from the wall above。

The cat looked up and saw old Mr。 Benjamin Bunny prancing along the top of the wall of the upper terrace。

He was smoking a pipe of rabbit´ tobacco�察�and had a little switch in his hand。

He was looking for his son。


Old Mr。 Bunny had no opinion whatever of cats。 He took a tremendous jump off the top of the wall on to the top of the cat�察�and cuffed it off the basket�察�and kicked it into the greenhouse�察�scratching off a handful of fur。

The cat was too much surprised to scratch back。

When old Mr。 Bunny had driven the cat into the greenhouse�察�he locked the door。

Then he came back to the basket and took out his son Benjamin by the ears�察�and whipped him with the little switch。

Then he took out his nephew Peter。

Then he took out the handkerchief of onions�察�and marched out of the garden。


When Mr。 McGregor returned about half an hour later he observed several things which perplexed him。

It looked as though some person had been walking all over the garden in a pair of clogsonly the footmarks were too ridiculously little��

Also he could not understand how the cat could have managed to shut herself up INSIDE the greenhouse�察�locking the door upon the OUTSIDE。
