caught--dozens and dozens of them.


But Tom Kitten has always been afraid
of a rat; he never durst face anything that
is bigger than--

A Mouse.



THE END





THE TALE OF MR. TOD

I HAVE made many books about
well-behaved people. Now, for
a change, I am going to make a
story about two disagreeable people,
called Tommy Brock and Mr. Tod.
Nobody could call Mr. Tod "nice."
The rabbits could not bear him;
they could smell him half a mile off.
He was of a wandering habit and
he had foxey whiskers; they never
knew where he would be next.
