He forgot that Paddy's house wasn't low and rough like Jerry Muskrat's, but was high with a rounding roof which was very smooth and slippery .with frozen snow in places. He was in such a hurry to see Paddy swim under the ice that he didn't think of anything else and he rushed to one of the smoothest, most slippery places on the whole roof. His long legs flew from under him and down, that slippery roof he shot on his back, his legs kicking foolishly. Thump! Peter had landed on the forward to receiving it every week. PVT. GEORGE J.
