tough for Peter, it should have been much tougher for Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse. for they are so much smaller than Peter. So, while one said it was a bad winter the other said it was a good winter; and both were right. That was because snow had come early. a crust had formed over it. and down in the snow under that crust, Danny and Nanny Mea- dow Mouse had lived all winter where no one could see them. So no one could catch them, or even try to. They and the other Mouse folk had dug little tunnels through the snow. and along these they had been able to go and come as they pleased.

0n the other hand Peter Rab-

bit had had a hard time. as had all the other people living above

the snow. There had been one

storm after another. Rough Broth- er Northwind had been his rough- est. Jack Frost had pinched his hardest. So, for a lot of folks, the winter had been just what Peter had said.

It was true that Paddy and Mrs. Paddy had known nothing about the winter storms and the cold. They never had had to come out of their comfortable house ex- cept to set food at their food pile; and then they were under the ice where neither wind nor cold could be felt.
