The
Rat
looked
very
grave
,
and
stood
in
deep
thought
for
a
minute
or
two
.
Then
he
re-entered
the
house
,
strapped
a
belt
round
his
waist
,
shoved
a
brace
of
pistols
into
it
,
took
up
a
stout
cudgel
that
stood
in
a
corner
of
the
hall
,
and
set
off
for
the
Wild
Wood
at
a
smart
pace
.
242
It
was
already
getting
towards
dusk
when
he
reached
the
first
fringe
of
trees
and
plunged
without
hesitation
into
the
wood
,
looking
anxiously
on
either
side
for
any
sign
of
his
friend
.
Here
and
there
wicked
little
faces
popped
out
of
holes
,
but
vanished
immediately
at
sight
of
the
valorous
animal
,
his
pistols
,
and
the
great
ugly
cudgel
in
his
grasp
;
and
the
whistling
and
pattering
,
which
he
had
heard
quite
plainly
on
his
first
entry
,
died
away
and
ceased
,
and
all
was
very
still
.
He
made
his
way
manfully
through
the
length
of
the
wood
,
to
its
furthest
edge
;
then
,
forsaking
all
paths
,
he
set
himself
to
traverse
it
,
laboriously
working
over
the
whole
ground
,
and
all
the
time
calling
out
cheerfully
,
"
Moly
,
Moly
,
Moly
!
Where
are
you
?
It
's
me
--
it
's
old
Rat
!
"
243
He
had
patiently
hunted
through
the
wood
for
an
hour
or
more
,
when
at
last
to
his
joy
he
heard
a
little
answering
cry
.
Guiding
himself
by
the
sound
,
he
made
his
way
through
the
gathering
darkness
to
the
foot
of
an
old
beech
tree
,
with
a
hole
in
it
,
and
from
out
of
the
hole
came
a
feeble
voice
,
saying
"
Ratty
!
Is
that
really
you
?

The
Rat
crept
into
the
hollow
,
and
there
he
found
the
Mole
,
exhausted
and
still
trembling
.
"
O
Rat
!
"
he
cried
,
"
I
've
been
so
frightened
,
you
ca
n't
think
!
"
245
"
O
,
I
quite
understand
,
"
said
the
Rat
soothingly
.
"
You
should
n't
really
have
gone
and
done
it
,
Mole
.
I
did
my
best
to
keep
you
from
it
.
We
river-bankers
,
we
hardly
ever
come
here
by
ourselves
.
246
If
we
have
to
come
,
we
come
in
couples
at
least
;
then
we
're
generally
all
right
.
Besides
,
there
are
a
hundred
things
one
has
to
know
,
which
we
understand
all
about
and
you
do
n't
,
as
yet
.
I
mean
passwords
,
and
signs
,
and
sayings
which
have
power
and
effect
,
and
plants
you
carry
in
your
pocket
,
and
verses
you
repeat
,
and
dodges
and
tricks
you
practise
;
all
simple
enough
when
you
know
them
,
but
they
've
got
to
be
known
if
you
're
small
,
or
you
'll
find
yourself
in
trouble
.
Of
course
if
you
were
Badger
or
Otter
,
it
would
be
quite
another
matter
.
"
247
"
Surely
the
brave
Mr.
Toad
would
n't
mind
coming
here
by
himself
,
would
he
?
"
inquired
the
Mole
.

"
Old
Toad
?
"
said
the
Rat
,
laughing
heartily
.
"
He
would
n't
show
his
face
here
alone
,
not
for
a
whole
hatful
of
golden
guineas
,
Toad
would
n't
.
"
249
The
Mole
was
greatly
cheered
by
the
sound
of
the
Rat
's
careless
laughter
,
as
well
as
by
the
sight
of
his
stick
and
his
gleaming
pistols
,
and
he
stopped
shivering
and
began
to
feel
bolder
and
more
himself
again
.
250
"
Now
then
,
"
said
the
Rat
presently
,
"
we
really
must
pull
ourselves
together
and
make
a
start
for
home
while
there
's
still
a
little
light
left
.
It
will
never
do
to
spend
the
night
here
,
you
understand
.
Too
cold
,
for
one
thing
.
"
