The Adventures of Toad (1)

The Adventures of Toad (1)

  It was a bright morning in the early part of summer.

  The Mole and the Water Rat had been up since dawn very busy on matters connected with boats and the opening of the boating season ; painting and varnishing and mending paddles and so on.



  They were finishing breakfast in their little parlour when a heavy knock sounded at the door.

  " Bother ! " said the Rat, all over egg.
  " See who it is, Mole, like a good chap. "

  The Mole went to attend the summons, and the Rat heard him utter a cry of surprise.

  Then he flung the alour door open, and announced with much importance, " Mr Badger ! "

  This was a wonderful thing, indeed, that the Badger should pay a formal call on them, or indeed on anybody.
