Chapter III: Part III: The Journey

_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 the doorstep. An egg and a spring flower in each—and the children will know!
