"Peter a - EE a Peter Rabbit sal on the edge of he water watching Starnose te Mole swimming towards him, above sat Redwing the Pla ird, As Starnose drew near, Redwing flew down to a tussock of grass and began his familiar clucking sound. Instantly Starnose turneu als head. "Hello, Redwing" said 1e in a squeaky voice. "Héllo, Starnose" veplied Red- ving. "f want you to meet a friend )f mine." "Who?" squeaked Starnose. "Whom do you want me to meet, and where is her?" Just then Peter moved a little and Starnose turned in his diréc- dom. "It is just Peter Rabbit," said Redwing. "I thought it vas a Rabbit," squeaked Starnese, "That's what it sounded like. How comes it I have never met Peter Rabbit over here before?" "That's what T want to know," said Redwing. "Peter comes over here often enough, but he says that until today he has never seen ou." "Well, I have never seen him," squeaked Starnose, and then gave a funny little chuckle. Of course, he-hadn't seen Peter, because as I have already toldxyou, he cannot see: people or, things, All he can do is to tell light from darkness. Now he swam rapidly in {0 -where Peter sat and climbed up beside Him. Evideatly bis nossa told him all he wantod to know. "How do you do, Peter Rabbit?' gaid he, "Very well, indeed, thank you," replied Peter in his most: polite manner. "If I felt any better I should feel too good. Is it true that you are a cousin to Miner the Mole, who lives up on the Green Meadows?" "I suppose I am," replied Star- nose. "Do you see him often?" "No," replied Peter, = "In fact, 1 have seen him only two or.three times in all my life. He. certain- ly does like to keep out of sight Do youestay under ground as much as he does?" "Oh, I stay underground a good "% deal of the time," replied Starnese. I like to come up once in a "while. That's how I happened to be taking a swim just now. I cer- tainly like the water. Do you like the water, Peter Rabbit?" Peter shook his head. Then he rémembered that Starnose couldn't see him shake hi shead. "No," said he very frankly, "I don't like the water. By the way, was it you who scared me so the other day?" .. "Don't ask me," replied Starnose. "I don't often scare anybody. How were you scared?"

'Then I suppose it "was 1 who scared you suppose it was you who scared me half to death right afterwards' It was Peter's turn to chuckle. "1 thumped the ground hard enough," said he, "but I couldn't be sure that IT scared anybody." "Well, you did, vou scared me," replied Starnose. - "1 didn't do any more digging over there for a long time." "Then it was you and not Miner who had made all those little rid- ges." said Peter, "Certainly," replied Starnose. "Cousin Miner doesn't like such wet soll. He likes it where it is dryer.
