She could not go backwards in a burrow, because it would rub all her hair up the wrong way.” “But cats don’t burrow,” said Tommy Smith. “Of course not,” said the mole. “They know that they would not be able to, so they don’t try.

You see, I have a pair of spades to help me, and I dig with both of them at the same time.” “A pair of spades!” cried Tommy Smith in surprise. “Why, where are they?
