Part III—The Journey
Reading edition
Spring. Here is the basket, Rabbit.
Robin. Here is an egg.
Thrush. Here is another.
Squirrel. Here are some acorns that have just sprouted.
Spring. My prettiest flowers go to the children. There! Stop at every house where there is a child.
Rabbit. I shall not forget. I’m off. [To himself.] I’ll just make a nest of grass for each child, and leave it on 149the doorstep. An egg and a spring flower in each—and the children will know!
