Then he tried to find his way straight across the garden, but he became more and more puzzled. Presently, he came to a pond where Mr. McGregor filled his water-cans. A white cat was staring at some gold-fish, she sat very, very still, but now and then the tip of her tail twitched as if it were alive. Peter thought it best to go away without speaking to her; he had heard about cats from his cousin, little Benjamin Bunny.

He went back towards the tool-shed, but suddenly, quite close to him, he heard the noise of a hoe - scr-r-ritch, scratch, scratch, scritch. Peter scuttered underneath the bushes. But presently, as nothing happened, he came out, and climbed upon a wheel-barrow and peeped over. The first thing he saw was Mr. McGregor hoeing onions. His back was turned towards Peter, and beyond him was the gate!

Peter got down very quietly off the wheel-barrow, and started running as fast as he could go, along a straight walk behind some black-currant bushes.
Mr. McGregor caught sight of him at the corner but Peter did not care. He slipped underneath the gate, and was safe at last in the wood outside the garden. -

A bit heavy on time today? You've not started *partaking*, have you?
I won't mention what a surrogate mother would do to such a child if that's the case - not polite on the open forum, you know. But you know, you know.My uncle had a rabbit's foot for thirty years. His other foot was quite normal. Tom Griffin

Not really. I'm just having some fun with the little one I'm babysitting. He knows how to copy and paste now.
You've not started *partaking*...
Nope, not since jr-high.

Dear Seven,
Actually, I was enjoying the read -- was always a favorite of mine. I especially love her illustrations, truly exquisite. Often read it to my granddaughter, who could probably teach me a few things re computers!
Very sweet - Love ya, Zazu
