Peter Rabbit was paying his usual early morning call on Bob White. Bob sat on his favorite fence post. He had * continued to use that post even though Mrs. Bob had moved the family to an- other part of the Green Meadows alto- * gether, He had done it for a purpose. “As long as other people hear me whistling here and see me here, they will think that, of course, the family is somewhere about here,” thought Bob. And this is just what others did think—Peter Rabbit among them. Al- most every day Reddy or Mrs. Reddy came over to look around in that vicinity. They knew that the nest had been there somewhere and so they thought that as long as Bob remained there, the family must be somewhere about, not very far away. This, of course, is just what Bob wanted them to think. “I think you are mean, Bob White " said Peter, “I think vou are mean not to tell me where Mrs. Bob and the babies are.” “Who said I have any babies?” de- manded Bob. “You've been whistling it every morn- ing of late,” replied Peter. “I knew the day those eggs hatched. I knew it by the sound of your whistle. Now I want g)bs,ee those babies. Where are they, oo “I can't say exactly,” replied Bob, his eyes twinkling. ‘You see, they move about so much that I never know just where they are. All I can tell you is that they are somewhere around.” ‘This was all Peter could get from Bob ‘White. So at last he bade Bob good-by and started off. He wasn’t looking for Mrs. Bob and her bables. In fact, when he was some distance from where Bob was still whistling on the fence post, he had forgotten all about Mrs. Bob and the babies. He was thinking of other things. So you can imagine Peter’s surprise when suddenly right al- most under his nose there was a shai cluck and there was little Mrs. Bol White acting as if something were the matter with her. At the same time Peter had a glimpse of a whole lot of flufly littie biras But it ‘was only & glimpse, Mrs. Bob was taking his at- tentien. He looked back at her to see if there really was anything the matter with her. That second glance satisfied him that there wasn't. He knew that old trick. Yes, sir, he knew that old trick. So instantly he looked for the babies again. Not one fluffy little bany was to be seen. He looked and looked. He rub- bed his eyes. Not a single Bob White was anywhere in sight. He looked back at Mrs. Bob White. She was looking at him now and in her eyes there was a mischievous look. *Oh, Peter, how you séared me!” she exclaimed. “I didn’t know it was you.” 3 “Huh!” exclaimed Peter. “Well, you know it now. Where are those babies of.yours?” “What babies?” asked Mrs. Bob inno- cently. “Now, look here,” said Peter, “don't you try to fool me like that. You know I know that you had your family right here when I came along. I saw some of those bables. Now, where are they?” “Are you sure that you really saw them?” “inquired Mrs, Bob. “If you really saw them, why didn't you see where they went?” * “I believe some of them are hiding under you,” declared Peter. “Oh, no,” replied Mrs. Bob, and then hopped up in the air so that Peter could see that no bables were hiding under her. ‘Those 16 children had disappeared as if by magic.
