He crept under the gate and found himself right in the middle of a cabbage patoh. It was very quiet in the garden,and Peter began to be just a little afraid."Perhaps Ishould not have come;’ said Peter to himself. But it was so nice inthe garden that he hated to go back home even though he knew he was doing wrong. So he went on nib- bling a leaf of cabbage here and there and listening to the birds singing softly in the tree tops.

Mr. McGregor was very explore the garden. “Some nice crisp lettuce would taste angry when he saw Peter and began to chase him, calling, good,” said he to himself.“I think I shall try to find some.” “Stop thief! Stop thief!” But Peter ran on. In the next Just ashe was rounding the corner of the cabbage patch, piece you can almost see Peter running,or rather hopping whom should he see but Mr. McGregor!

His sobs attracted some friendly into a net that Mr. McGregor had stretched over his black- sparrows, who fluttered around, crying to him to try to f from the net.

He hated to leave his nice new jacket in the blackberry net; he knew his mother would soold him, but still that was better than being caught by Mz McGregor. So he wriggled free just in time, for Mr. McGregor was com- ing around the corner. Peter ran into the tool shed and hid in a watering can. However, the watering can had some wa- ter in it, and Peter had to jump out again. This time he hid PR-28 in some old lumber; and while Mr. McGregor was busy turn- ing over flower pots, looking for him, Peter jumped out the window. “I had better go right home,’ thought Peter. “But where is the gate?” He looked and looked. He wandered through the garden for over an hour,and still he could not find the gate. Suddenly he saw a mouse. He called to her and said:Peter Asks the Mouse for Help Andante, Pall a { =F 2 == z =e leas i. uo e he ay to the gar - den | gat %.

Peter wandered on and on,so tired that he could hardly drag one foot after the other. Suddenty he saw a large white cat.“Goodness mel” thought Peter. “Thad better not ask him to help me. Mother told me about cats.”So he sneaked by the cat as quietly as he could. On and on he went, sobbing and orying. “Oh,1 wish {had not come! I will ngver do this again.” Just as he was about to give up looking, he saw the garden gate. He dragged himself to it and crept under, falling exhausted on the other side.
