Of course, as soon as he began to think about his own dinner, he forgot all about the peewit's, and said good bye at once. So off he ran. The mother peewit just nodded to him as she sat on her eggs, but the father peewit rose up into the air again, and flew round him, and swished his wings, and tumbled about, and cried, "Pee wee eet! OF COURSE AS SOON AS HE BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT HIS OWN DINNER HE FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE PEWITS AND SAID GOOD BYE AT ONCE SO OFF HE RAN THE MOTHER PEWIT JUST NODDED AT HIM AS SHE SAT ON HER EGGS BUT THE FATHER PEWIT ROSE UP INTO THE AIR AGAIN AND FLEW AROUND HIM AND SWISHED HIS WINGS AND TUMBLED ABOUT AND CRIED PEE WEE IT

They are too big to be interfered with. So, you see, that’s all right too.” Tommy Smith didn’t feel quite so sure about this. He couldn’t help thinking that perhaps the peewits ate the little frogs. But, just as he was going to ask them this, he remembered that if he didn’t make haste home, he would be late for dinner.
