"Oh, I think there are three," said Tommy Smith; but this time he didn't feel nearly so proud. OH I THINK THERE ARE THREE SAID TOMMY SMITH BUT THIS TIME HE DIDN'T FEEL NEARLY SO PROUD
hink the place that I live in is quite large and fine enough to be called a palace, so I call it one.” “Oh! but it cannot be so big as the house that I live in,” said Tommy Smith. “Well,” said the mole, “I should just like to know how long the longest corridor in your house is.” Tommy Smith thought to himself a little. The house he lived in was not a very large one, for his father was not a _very_ rich man. There were not many passages in it, and he did not think the longest of them was long enough to be called a corridor. Still, he thought that they must be longer than the passages of a mole’s house, and he couldn’t help feeling rather proud as he said, “Oh! I don’t know exactly, because I have never measured it, but perhaps it is six yards long.” “Six yards?” cried the mole. “Do you call _that_ a corridor? Why, some of mine are more than twenty times as long as that. You might walk over a whole field without coming to the end of them. And how many corridors has your house got, then?” E YOU MAY LIVE IN A HOUSE I DARE SAY BUT I THINK THE PLACE THAT I LIVE IN IS QUITE LARGE AND FINE ENOUGH TO BE CALLED A PALACE SO I CALL IT ONE OH BUT IT CANNOT BE SO BIG AS THE HOUSE THAT I LIVE IN SAID TOMMY SMITH WELL SAID THE MOLE I SHOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW HOW LONG THE LONGEST CORRIDOR IN YOUR HOUSE IS TOMMY SMITH THOUGHT TO HIMSELF A LITTLE THE HOUSE HE LIVED IN WAS NOT A VERY LARGE ONE FOR HIS FATHER WAS NOT A VERY RICH MAN THERE WERE NOT MANY PASSENGERS IN IT AND HE DID NOT THINK THE LONGEST OF THEM WAS LONG ENOUGH TO BE CALLED A CORRIDOR STILL HE THOUGHT THAT THEY MUST BE LONGER THAN THE PASSAGES OF A MOLE'S HOUSE SO HE COULDN'T HELP FEELING RATHER PROUD AS HE SAID OH I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER MEASURED IT BUT PERHAPS IT IS SIX YARDS LONG SIX YARDS CRIED THE MOLE DO YOU CALL THAT A CORRIDOR WHY SOME OF MINE ARE MORE THAN TWENTY TIMES AS LONG AS THAT YOU MIGHT WALK OVER A WHOLE FIELD WITHOUT COMING TO THE END OF THEM AND HOW MANY CORRIDORS HAS YOUR HOUSE GOT THEN
