—Peter Rabbit.
A Rad Time lo Be Absent-Minded.
To be absent minded is to be think
ing so hard of one thing that you for
get everything else. There are times
when this may not matter, hut there
are other times when to he absent
minded is dangerous. It may get you
into all kinds of trouble. It is best
not to be absent minded at all.
The great snow storm had been fol
lowed a couple of days later by a.
short, light rain, and then the
weather had turned very cold and a
crust had formed over the snow. Peter
Rabbit was glad of that crust. While
the know had l>een soft he had not
dared leave the dear Old Rriar Patch.
He and Mrs. Peter had eaten most
of the bark within reach. Now on this
fine crust he could get over to the
Green Forest or up to the Old Pas
ture or over to the Old Orchard.
Peter decided to go over to the
Green Forest. Making sure that the
way was clear, he started out lip
perty-lipperty lip. As he drew near
the edge of the Green Forest he tried
to make up his mind where he would
go first. There were several places
he wanted to visit. First he derided to
go to one plsce. then he changed his
mind and decided to go to another
place. No sooner had he made up his
mind to this than he thought of a
third place and once more was un
decided.
“I don’t know- which place to go to
first. 1 said peter to himself. “I w-ant
to go to alf three first, hut I can’t
do that and I can’t make up my mind
which one to choose."
It was then that Peter Riibblt he
rame absent minded. He was so husy
trying to make up his tjiind that he
forgot everything else. There he was
right out in the open, easv for sharp,
[hungry eyes to see from quite a. dis
tamo away because his dark coat
showed up against the white snow
so plainly. Yet instead of hurrying
his fastest to reach shelter. Pet$r ac
tually stopped once or twice as he
tried to make up his mind where to
go. lie ha«l completely forgotten
