When Farmer Green's cat looked iround and discovered that Grand father Mole had disappeared from the garden a puzzled look came over Tier face. She couldn't think where he had gone in just a few seconds.' Hut she knew then why Mr. Crov had 'laughed. And she was no? pleased. ; ' "Where is he," she asked .fr C row. "You interrupted via at ,my breakfast and now I've lost if." i ' Mr. Crow . was rocking hack and 1'ortli on his perch, for jt joke on , nnj-'jody cM'cpt .himself always de lighted lr'm. ' 'Grandfather Mole i right lierc in the jtarden," ,e declared. . - v"'l'hcn he tntift have hidden be iicath a vegetable," the cat observetj. ' "t shouldn't say that, exactly," Mr. Crow replied. " "How far away is he?" the cat demanded. ' ' "That would be hard to tell," Mr. Crow answered. ' Farmer Green's cat had ne.'er liked Mr. Crow, for no particular reason. And now she certainly had a, very ' special reason for being angry with him. v . ' "It's all y6ur fault," she scolded. "If you hadn't spoke to tne I'd never The whole affair amused Mr.' have taken my eyes off Grandfather j Mole. . . . The least yon can do, sue added, "is to tell me this instant, iv here Grandfather Mole is." f kl'vr alrrjHv tnt vntl y' fr CrnvvN reminded her. "He's here in the ..garden. Find him if you can!" , ' ; , Af that Farmer Green's cat began ip-riln up and down between the rows of yegetabjes. IJut she had no luck at' alt. So after a while, she came back and told Mr.. Crow hat , she didn't believe him. "Tut. tut!" said Mr. Crow. "You haveti't looked in the right place.'' ,; "I've searched the whole garden!'! the eat cried. ' s, , ' "Oh. nof Mr, Crow exclaimed. "You've looked only on top of the ground. II you want to find Grand father Mole you must -look beneath the surface." The f( was ceatly. disappointed when she heard that, ; "You don't 'mean tp sav that l,ie . went into a hole, do you?" she asked. ' "I do," Mr. Crow declared. , "l don't see one anywhere,", she said. "If I had I'd have been more careful how. I let him run about." , "Ah!" said, Mr, i Crow. T see you don't khow'that Grandfather Mole always carries a hole around with him, wherever he goes; He believes in having one handy in case of sud den need.", ; "1 didn't see it," the cat told him angrily. ' f 'Ot course not!" Mr. Crow agreed. "How could you see a hole until'. it's . put in a certain place, readv to-;us?" Well, the, cat was puzzled. vSome- , flow she couldn't "quite". ? understand Mr.i Crow's ''remarks. And yet there seemed some Sense in thepi, too. But she pretended that she understood, because she didn't want him to think she' was stupid. And without thank ing him for his explanation (for she was still angry) she tum'ed and went off towards .hc meadow. - . The whole affair" amsed;- .Mr. Crow greatly. It kepbJhini in a gocAi .-humor all that day. And he went about telling everybody how Grand father Mole had dug himself out o sight in the garden, almost under, the cat's nose. , ! . .' . . .For that, was exactly what had happened. . - v, , '1.
