It never seemed to occur to this boy that the poor rat had done _him_ no harm, and that it might be the father or mother of some little baby rats, who would now die of hunger. IT NEVER SEEMED TO OCCUR TO THIS BOY THAT THE POOR RAT HAD DONE HIM NO HARM AND THAT IT MIGHT BE THE FATHER OR MOTHER OF SOME LITTLE BABY RATS WHO WOULD NOW DIE OF HUNGER
O YOU HEAR?” 41 “BITE HIM!” 51 “ALL HAPPY (EXCEPT THE HARE)” 63 “THERE ARE THREE FROGS IN MY STOMACH AT THIS MOMENT” 79 “WE MOLES ARE VERY HEROIC” 141 TOMMY SMITH’S ANIMALS CHAPTER I. THE MEETING “_The owl calls a meeting, and has an idea: They all think it good, though it SOUNDS rather queer._” THERE was once a little boy, named Tommy Smith, who was very cruel to animals, because nobody had taught him that it was wrong to be so. He would throw stones at the birds as they sat in the trees or hedges; and if he did not hit them, that was only because they were too quick for him, and flew away as soon as they saw the stone coming. But he always _meant_ to hit them—yes, and to kill them too,—which made it every bit as bad as if he really had killed them. Then, if he saw a rat, he would make his dog run after it, and if the poor thing tried to escape by running down a hole, he and the dog together would dig it out, and then the dog would bite it with his sharp teeth until it was quite dead.
