The leader who is truly wise Will always guard against surprise. —Honker the Goose. As long as he could remember Peter Rabbit had known Honker the Goose. Ever since he was big enough to visit the Green Forest Peter had watched for the coming of Honker in the Spring on his way North and for his returm in the Fall on his way South. And so far Peter had never been disappointed. But the reason why he had never been dis- appointed Peter did not appreciate. It “EACH YEAR IT GETS WORSE, THIS LONG JOURNEY TO THE SOUTH,” SAID HONKER. was because of the wisdom of Honker the Goose. It was because of his wisdom that Honker was the leader of his flock and -had been the leader as long as Peter had known him. It was because of his wisdom that Honker always had a flock to lead. They obeyed him because they believed that he knew best.

Wisdom— the kind of wisdom that allows for no mistakes—was the sole reason that Honker was alive. “Each year it gets worse, this long journey to the South,” said Honker. “Each year there are more guns and more guns. Each year there are fewer resting places that are safe. Each year places that were safe the year before have been found by hunters with terri- ble guns, and they are waiting for us. It looks to me as if the time will come when there will not be a single place where we can rest in safety and get food. Food we must have. When that time comes it will niean the end of the race of Honker the Goose.” “I don't see,” said Peter, “how you have managed to escape those terrible guns as it is.” “By using just every-day common sense,” replied Honker. “By never for- getting and by never taking chances.

I always lead the flock around above that piece of water, and when we do alight it is al- ways as far from shore as possible. Then I lead the way to the feeding grounds, but no matter how hungry we are I never allow one of the flock to approach the feeding grounds until I have myself taken plenty of time to make as sure as possible that no hunter with & terrible gun is hidden close by. “I know of certain places at which I have been in the habit of stopping ever since my first flight—places where I have never seen a hunter with 8 terribie gun; places that I do not think these hunters have yet found.
